"For more than 50 years, FedEx has shaped global commerce by offering innovative shipping services that bring communities closer together," said Raj Subramaniam, president and CEO, FedEx Corporation. "Our culture of innovation, paired with our team's steadfast commitment to outstanding service and bold ideas, enabled the FedEx network to continue fueling worldwide progress this year through a rapidly evolving trade landscape and shifts in supply chains."

The report reveals that FedEx contributed $126 billion in direct and indirect impact to the global economy in FY25. In the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa (MEISA) region, FedEx directly contributed 0.1% to net economic output of the Transportation, Storage, and Communications sector[1] and indirectly contributed $330 million to the region's overall economy - a 17% increase over the company's indirect impact in FY24. Together, the combined direct and indirect contributions from FedEx to MEISA's economy totaled approximately $1.6 billion. This activity reflects the scale of the FedEx network and the company's ongoing efforts to enhance its services and optimize its operations during its first fiscal year operating as one FedEx.

FedEx connects the rapidly growing economies of MEISA with the rest of the world through a network that reaches more than 220 countries and territories across the globe. Within MEISA, the Middle East continues to play a pivotal role in facilitating global trade and regional connectivity, supported by the FedEx regional hub Dubai World Central (DWC) - Al Maktoum International Airport, which serves as a critical gateway linking Asia, Europe, and Africa. The company further enhanced Intra-Asia and Europe trade lanes with a new five-times-a-week flight from Guangzhou, China, through Bangalore, India, and Dubai, UAE, to Paris, France offering businesses greater operational flexibility and efficiency.

"The Middle East is cementing its role as a vital hub for global trade, connecting fast growing markets across Asia, Europe, and Africa," said Kami Viswanathan, president of FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa. "By strengthening our network, expanding digital capabilities, and empowering small businesses through regional initiatives, we are enabling smarter, more connected supply chains that fuel economic growth, diversification, and long-term value across the region."

In FY25, FedEx enhanced its presence in the UAE through a collaboration with Emirates Post, the UAE's official postal services provider, establishing 68 Authorized Ship Centers nationwide. The company also launched a customs clearance facility at Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zonesupporting more than 30,000 local businesses. Additionally, FedEx introduced digital tools such as the FedEx Import Tool, a centralized digital platform that streamlines document management and customs clearance, empowering local businesses with more efficient import processes, and FedEx Surround, a monitoring and intervention suite that enhances efficiency and visibility for customers.

Additionally, FedEx launched 34 small and medium-sized business clusters across the Middle East and North Africa through its 'Cluster Program', a knowledge-sharing platform that helps businesses navigate global trade. The program engages companies in key industrial and trade zones across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan.

The company also launched FedEx® International Connect Plusin the UAE and Saudi Arabia, offering fast, day-definite e-commerce shipping for packages up to 20 kgs, with digital tracking and flexible delivery options to support cross-border trade growth.

FedEx further strengthened its community engagement efforts, with team members volunteering to pack 1,600 grocery bagsduring Ramadan for blue-collar workers.
