Sharjah: Kuwaiti investments in Sharjah have reached AED1.049 billion in 2025, marking a 72.7% growth, as revealed by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department during the "UAE and Kuwait: Brothers Forever" week. This significant growth highlights the robust historical and economic ties between the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
According to Emirates News Agency, the data showcases the increasing confidence of Kuwaiti investors in Sharjah's investment environment, which is bolstered by legislative and economic stability and advanced infrastructure. Kuwaiti nationals own a total of 5,660 properties in Sharjah, demonstrating their continued investment presence over the years. Their role extends beyond ownership to being early real estate developers in the emirate, with 13 development projects attributed to Kuwaiti developers.
In 2025, trading activities saw growth, with the number of properties traded by Kuwaiti investors in Sharjah rising to 868, a 51.7% increase compared to 2024, when 573 properties were traded. The number of Kuwaiti investors also increased to 811 in 2025, marking a growth of 38.2% from 2024's 587 investors. This reflects the expansion of the Kuwaiti investor base and the inclusion of new segments into Sharjah's real estate market.
These indicators are an extension of the strong relations between the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, founded on cooperation, integration, and mutual trust, especially in economic and investment sectors. Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director-General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, affirmed that these figures highlight Sharjah's status as a preferred real estate destination for Kuwaiti investors. He noted that the growing investments are a testament to the fraternal and historical relations between the two countries and the confidence Kuwaiti investors have in Sharjah's investment environment.

He concluded by stating the department's commitment to strengthening cooperation with Kuwaiti investors and providing top-tier services to support sustainable growth, benefiting both nations and enhancing joint cooperation.
