FedEx Corp. released its annual economic impact report, analyzing the company’s worldwide network and role in fueling innovation during its 2023 fiscal year (FY 2023).
Produced in consultation with Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB), a leading provider of business decision-making data and analytics, the study demonstrates the positive impact FedEx has on individuals and communities around the globe — otherwise known as the ‘FedEx Effect.’
“FedEx has helped shape global supply chains and the e-commerce revolution over five decades by transforming the way businesses exchange goods, services, and ideas — all while continuously exceeding the evolving needs of our customers,” said Raj Subramaniam, President and CEO, FedEx Corporation.
The report reveals that FedEx contributed more than $80 billion in direct impact to the global economy in FY 2023, despite recent economic pressures.

The company’s impact also included $2.7 billion in indirect contributions to the regional economy in FY 2023. Among specific industries in AMEA, FedEx Express indirectly contributed an estimated $1 billion to the critical $9 trillion Manufacturing sector.
The company’s indirect contribution to the Transportation, Storage, and Communications sector was estimated as $772 million.
FedEx Express selected Dubai as the home of its gateway facility for Middle East operations in 1989 and its regional hub for air operations in 1998 — an ideal location as the UAE has evolved into a modern center for logistics and transportation.
Today, this hub serves the MEISA region, which accounts for approximately 45% of the world’s population, through 56 weekly FedEx Express flights. These flights are a crucial part of the FedEx global air network that connects more than 220 countries and territories.
Kami Viswanathan, President of FedEx Express Middle East, Indian subcontinent, and Africa, said: “The growing prominence of the MEISA region in the global economy is reflected in our vast network.
"In alignment with our long-term vision, we are bolstering our commercial presence, to provide businesses with faster and more convenient access to international markets.
"We remain committed to providing innovative solutions to our customers and are actively working to foster a more connected and sustainable future. This approach will enhance the FedEx Effect for our team members, customers, suppliers, and communities.”
