 The United Arab Emirates' non-oil private sector recorded its fastest expansion in nine months in December 2024, buoyed by strong domestic demand and increased business activity, according to the latest S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) report. PMI Highlights Robust Growth The seasonally adjusted UAE PMI climbed to 55.4 in December from 54.2 in November, signaling robust growth well above the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. This marked the third consecutive monthly increase, underscoring sustained recovery in the non-oil sector. Key drivers of growth included a notable rise in new business activity. The new orders subindex rose sharply to 59.3 in December from 58.0 in the previous month, reflecting strong domestic demand.

UAE: Signs that you have received a scam message

-

 

UAE

Have you recently received a notification that a parcel is waiting to be delivered from Emirates Post? All you have to do to get it delivered is pay a little shipping fee. To be sure you are not the target of a phishing assault, wait before clicking on a link to make the payment.

Emirates Post has recently been warning UAE citizens through a series of awareness articles to be on the lookout for phoney messages and to always double-check their source. Emirates Post offered three indicators that a message is false as part of its awareness drive.

Three signs that a message is fake

1. Verify the full email address twice

Be sure to read the email address. In order to attack a certain brand, hackers will utilise domains that are similar to or resemble that brand. Additionally, you may view the sender's full email address by tapping on the sender's address name. The domain name that comes after the at sign in the email address will identify the actual sender of the message.

2. Check the phone number if you receive a Whatsapp message

It is crucial to verify the phone number and not just look at the display picture, which can contain an official emblem, if you have gotten an alert over WhatsApp. Emirates Post warned users that private telephone numbers will never be used to send a WhatsApp message to a client. Emirates Post only uses verified WhatsApp accounts, which are shown by a green check mark, to send messages.

3. Ignore Whatsapp payment links

Emirates Post claims that clients can track shipments or reach a customer support agent through their WhatsApp account. No transactions ever take place on it. The official website, emiratespost.ae, or the "Emirates Post" mobile application, both of which are available for Apple and Android smartphones, are used to make payments for shipments and parcels.

How can I alert Emirates Post to phoney emails and messages?

Send a snapshot to custservice@emiratespost.ae or phone the toll-free number 600 599 99 if you get any questionable WhatsApp messages, texts, or emails purporting to be from Emirates Post.

How do I report online fraud?

1. eCrime.ae

Through the "eCrime" service on the Dubai Police website, www.dubaipolcie.gov.ae, or the Dubai Police mobile application, you can report online fraud or cybercrime.

2. Al Ameen Service by Dubai Police

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
