ADNOC is set to drive AED200 billion ($54.4 Billion) into the UAE's economy over the next five years through its In-Country Value (ICV) program, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.

This strategic initiative will boost economic growth and diversification, reinforcing ADNOC's commitment to supporting the nation's long-term prosperity, it said.

This new target unlocks significant opportunities for local and international companies to engage with ADNOC's procurement pipeline, fostering investment in the UAE's manufacturing and industrial sectors while driving job creation for Emiratis.

In 2024, ADNOC's ICV program reinvested AED55 billion into the UAE economy and facilitated the creation of 5,500 private-sector jobs for UAE nationals in collaboration with the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (Nafis).

Since its launch in 2018, the program has delivered AED242 billion in economic value and enabled the employment of 17,000 Emiratis in the private sector, underscoring ADNOC's commitment to sustainable economic growth and national talent development, WAM said.

"In line with the UAE leadership's vision, ADNOC continues to serve as a key driver of the nation's economic diversification and growth through our highly successful In-Country Value program,” said ADNOC Executive Director of People, Commercial and Corporate Support Yaser Saeed Almazrouei.

"Building on this momentum, we are expanding private sector job opportunities for UAE nationals and offering compelling prospects for the private sector to contribute to the UAE's industrial expansion. We invite local and international companies to leverage our ICV program to create sustainable value and foster mutual success,” he added.

ADNOC's ICV program continues to strengthen the UAE's industrial sector, driving local manufacturing and economic diversification. Since 2022, ADNOC has signed agreements with UAE and international companies worth AED72 billion to locally manufacture critical industrial products, advancing its target of producing AED90 billion worth of products in the UAE by 2030. This initiative supports the UAE's 'Make it in the Emirates' campaign, supporting industrial growth and innovation.

Syria will receive two electricity-generating ships from Türkiye and Qatar to boost energy supplies hit by damage to infrastructure during President Bashar al-Assad's rule, state news agency SANA quoted an official as saying on Tuesday.
Khaled Abu Dai, director general of the General Establishment for Electricity Transmission and Distribution, told SANA the ships would provide a total of 800 megawatts of electricity but did not say over what period.
"The extent of damage to the generation and transformation stations and electrical connection lines during the period of the former regime is very large, we are seeking to rehabilitate (them) in order to transmit energy,” Abu Dai said.
According to Reuters, he did not say when Syria would receive the two ships.
The United States on Monday issued a sanctions exemption for transactions with governing institutions in Syria for six months after the end of Assad's rule to try to increase the flow of humanitarian assistance.
The exemption allows some energy transactions and personal remittances to Syria until July 7. The action did not remove any sanctions.
Syria suffers from severe power shortages, with state-supplied electricity available just two or three hours a day in most areas. The caretaker government says it aims within two months to provide electricity up to eight hours a day.
