Women in UAE are making positive change

Making the world a better place is top of the agenda for female business leaders in the UAE – more so than among their global counterparts. On International Women’s Day 2021, KPMG presents how female leaders are sizing up the post pandemic world.

The leading professional services firm surveyed more than 600 female leaders worldwide to gauge their position in a volatile global economy. A notable share of respondents was from the UAE – home to some of the most powerful women in the Middle East, and around the world.

For a nuanced picture, KPMG’s Lower Gulf team took a comparative approach – weighing sentiment in the UAE against responses from female leaders worldwide. Several factors make the UAE unique, most notably the desire to change the world for the better.
