UAE tops index for SME financial-system support.
The 96.4 score is not the UAE’s result across the whole 2026 Global Financial Inclusion Index. It measures how strongly its financial system supports small and medium-sized businesses, and the report puts the UAE first among the markets assessed on that measure. The index also looks at government and employer support. Across the full index, the UAE ranked 21st, with 54.8 points; for employer support, it came seventh, scoring 68.5. So the first-place result is a standout, but it belongs to one part of the rankings—not the overall table.
