(MENAFN- Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)) São Paulo – A total of 5,930 new business licenses was issued to women entrepreneurs in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, over the past year, according to data from the licensing arm of a centralized business registry authority-the Abu Dhabi Registration Authority (ADRA)-which oversees the development and regulation of the emirate's business sector.

The licenses issued over the past 12 months led the total number of women entrepreneurs in the country to 21,115 by the end of June this year, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported on Friday (29). Analyzing the period from July last year to June, women accounted for 18% of the new business licenses in the UAE.

Among them, 2,768 were under the Mobdea category, which allows more than 50 business activities without the need for a physical office. Licenses were also issued to traders, the second most requested category, as well as for agricultural and industrial businesses, among others.“Women are a fundamental pillar of our society's growth,” said ADRA Director-General Mohamed Munif Al Mansoori.
