Sharjah Chamber reaffirms drive to boost supply chains, private sector

The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has reaffirmed its dedication to fostering private sector expansion and enhancing regional trade competitiveness. A significant driver of this commitment is the recent launch of an integrated logistics corridor that links the emirate's ports with those in Oman through land border crossings.

SCCI highlighted that this new corridor is designed to streamline trade flows, broaden logistics options for businesses, and improve the efficiency of regional supply chains. The chamber pledged continued support for companies seeking to leverage this advanced logistics system. These statements were made during SCCI's regular meeting, chaired by Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, the Chairman of SCCI.

The meeting included a presentation detailing strategic initiatives and key achievements from 2023 to mid-2026. SCCI reported substantial progress in improving the business ecosystem, strengthening support for the private sector, and boosting Sharjah's economic competitiveness. Notably, the chamber's registered memberships increased by approximately 10%, growing from 72,000 to over 80,000. Furthermore, more than 140,000 certificates of origin were issued during the same period.
