In a bid to enhance business activities and increase government revenues, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is contemplating the introduction of long-term business licenses, including 10-year "golden" licenses.
为了加强商业活动和增加政府收入，阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）正在考虑引入长期营业执照，包括10年的 “黄金” 许可证。
What Happened: The UAE is considering the implementation of new regulations for trade licenses, including the issuance of five-year "silver" licenses and 10-year "golden" licenses, reported Gulf News on Monday. These measures are intended to stimulate business continuity and promote economic growth in line with the "We are the UAE 2031" vision.
发生了什么：据《海湾新闻》周一报道，阿联酋正在考虑实施新的贸易许可证法规，包括颁发五年期 “白银” 许可证和十年期 “黄金” 许可证。这些措施旨在按照 “我们是阿联酋2031” 愿景刺激业务连续性并促进经济增长。
The proposal was discussed during the inaugural 2024 Economic Integration Committee meeting, chaired by Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, the Minister of Economy. The committee also reviewed the progress in implementing the outcomes of its first 2024 meeting in February.
该提案在由经济部长阿卜杜拉·本·图克·阿尔·马里主持的2024年经济一体化委员会首次会议上进行了讨论。该委员会还审查了2月份实施其2024年第一次会议成果的进展情况。
Bin Touq underscored the crucial role of the Economic Integration Committee in enhancing the UAE's business environment competitiveness. The committee has proposed policies and recommendations to expedite business processes, increase the country's appeal to investors and talents, and establish a comprehensive database of companies using cutting-edge technologies.
Bin Touq强调了经济一体化委员会在提高阿联酋商业环境竞争力方面的关键作用。该委员会提出了一些政策和建议，以加快业务流程，增加国家对投资者和人才的吸引力，并建立一个使用尖端技术的公司综合数据库。
Why It Matters: The UAE's move to introduce long-term business licenses follows several strategic initiatives aimed at bolstering its economy and global influence.
为何重要：阿联酋引入长期营业执照的举措遵循了多项旨在增强其经济和全球影响力的战略举措。
In March, the UAE struck a $5.5 billion deal with Hungary to revamp a Budapest neighborhood into a Dubai-style hub. This move is part of the UAE's efforts to expand its global footprint and diversify its investment portfolio.
3月，阿联酋与匈牙利达成了55亿美元的协议，将布达佩斯的一个社区改造成迪拜式的枢纽。此举是阿联酋扩大其全球足迹和分散投资组合的努力的一部分。
Earlier in February, Alibaba Group initiated partnerships with local companies in Saudi Arabia and the UAE as China strengthened its relations with the Gulf region. This development underscores the growing economic ties between the UAE and global players.
2月初，随着中国加强与海湾地区的关系，阿里巴巴集团开始与沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的本地公司建立合作伙伴关系。这一事态发展凸显了阿联酋与全球参与者之间日益增长的经济联系。
Moreover, the UAE has been positioning itself as a leader in AI regulation. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, proposed the UAE as a potential "regulatory sandbox" for experimenting with AI technologies. This highlights the UAE's commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment and embracing cutting-edge technologies.
此外，阿联酋一直将自己定位为人工智能监管的领导者。OpenAI的首席执行官山姆·奥特曼提议将阿联酋作为试验人工智能技术的潜在的 “监管沙箱”。这凸显了阿联酋对营造商业友好型环境和采用尖端技术的承诺。
