Our contribution to value creation in the UAE



Our contribution to value creation in the UAE has been certified by a third-party as part of the National ‘In-Country Value Programme’ (ICV) by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology.

By supporting local industries and companies, the ICV programme aims to advance economic and social development, as well as increasing the GDP of the UAE. As part of the National ICV certification process, organisations are assessed on their contribution to the local economy.

The Bank was assessed on its contribution through the total amounts spent within the country on; local products and services, investments (which include tangible fixed assets, investment property and intangible software assets), the hiring and development of Emiratis and the contribution to the local economy through the expatriate workforce.

ADCB achieved an ICV score of 70.1% in 2021. We remain committed to supporting the national economy through the ICV programme and contribute to the national developmental agenda in the UAE.
