FedEx<\/a><\/strong> delivered$1.6 billion in direct and indirect impact in FY25 across the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa region, and strengthened its footprint in the Middle East through smarter, more connected networks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riyadh, KSA, November 10, 2025 \u2013 FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) released its annual Global Economic Impact Report, highlighting the company\u2019s worldwide network and role in fueling innovation during its 2025 fiscal year (FY25). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced in consultation with Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB), a leading provider of business decisioning data and analytics, the study demonstrates the positive impact FedEx has on individuals, businesses, and communities around the world \u2014 otherwise known as the FedEx Effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor more than 50 years, FedEx has shaped global commerce by offering innovative shipping services that bring communities closer together,\u201d said Raj Subramaniam, president and CEO, FedEx Corporation. \u201cOur culture of innovation, paired with our team\u2019s steadfast commitment to outstanding service and bold ideas, enabled the FedEx network to continue fueling worldwide progress this year through a rapidly evolving trade landscape and shifts in supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report reveals that FedEx contributed $126 billion in direct and indirect impact to the global economy in FY25. In the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa (MEISA) region, FedEx directly contributed 0.1% to net economic output of the Transportation, Storage, and Communications sector and indirectly contributed $330 million to the region\u2019s overall economy \u2014 a 17% increase over the company\u2019s indirect impact in FY24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the combined direct and indirect contributions from FedEx to MEISA\u2019s economy totaled approximately $1.6 billion. This activity reflects the scale of the FedEx network and the company\u2019s ongoing efforts to enhance its services and optimize its operations during its first fiscal year operating as one FedEx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FedEx connects the rapidly growing economies of MEISA with the rest of the world through a network that reaches more than 220 countries and territories across the globe. Within MEISA, the Middle East continues to play a pivotal role in facilitating global trade and regional connectivity, supported by the FedEx regional hub Dubai World Central (DWC) \u2013 Al Maktoum International Airport, which serves as a critical gateway linking Asia, Europe, and Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company further enhanced Intra-Asia and Europe trade lanes with a new five-times-a-week flight from Guangzhou, China, through Bangalore, India, and Dubai, UAE, to Paris, France offering businesses greater operational flexibility and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East is cementing its role as a vital hub for global trade, connecting fast growing markets across Asia, Europe, and Africa,\u201d said Kami Viswanathan, president of FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa. \u201cBy strengthening our network, expanding digital capabilities, and empowering small businesses through regional initiatives, we are enabling smarter, more connected supply chains that fuel economic growth, diversification, and long-term value across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In FY25, FedEx enhanced its presence in the UAE through a collaboration with Emirates Post, the UAE\u2019s official postal services provider, establishing 68 Authorized Ship Centers nationwide. The company also launched a customs clearance facility at Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone supporting more than 30,000 local businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, FedEx introduced digital tools such as the FedEx Import Tool, a centralized digital platform that streamlines document management and customs clearance, empowering local businesses with more efficient import processes, and FedEx Surround a monitoring and intervention suite that enhances efficiency and visibility for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, FedEx launched 34 small and medium-sized business clusters across the Middle East and North Africa through its \u2018Cluster Program\u2019, a knowledge-sharing platform that helps businesses navigate global trade. The program engages companies in key industrial and trade zones across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also launched FedEx\u00ae International Connect Plus in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, offering fast, day-definite e-commerce shipping for packages up to 20 kgs, with digital tracking and flexible delivery options to support cross-border trade growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FedEx further strengthened its community engagement efforts, with team members volunteering to pack 1,600 grocery bags during Ramadan for blue-collar workers. Through collaborations with INJAZ UAE, FedEx supported more than 1,100 students, helping them build skills in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career readiness. At the INJAZ Al-Arab Youth Entrepreneurship Competition, FedEx hosted an educational session for young innovators from across the Arab world, highlighting the importance of global market access and responsible business practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FedEx operates the world\u2019s largest express transportation company, serving more than 220 countries and territories and employing more than 500,000 people across 5,000 facilities. The company transports approximately 17 million packages per day and more than $2 trillion worth of goods every year. The scale of this network drives the magnitude of the company\u2019s global impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
