UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs says there is no change to investment plans or long-term economic priorities; Some Gulf states are reviewing sovereign wealth fund investments to cover war-related losses from the Iran conflict.

The UAE's confirmation that it will not alter its investment plans is significant for stability in Gulf investment flows, especially amid the backdrop of rising tensions from the Iran conflict.
