UAE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The UAE has an open economy with
a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus. Successful efforts
at economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and
gas output to 25%. Since the discovery of oil in the UAE more than 30 years
ago, the UAE has undergone a profound transformation from an impoverished
region of small desert principalities to a modern state with a high standard of
living. The government has increased spending on job creation and
infrastructure expansion and is opening up utilities to greater private sector
involvement. In April 2004, the UAE signed a Trade and Investment Framework
Agreement with Washington and in November 2004 agreed to undertake negotiations
toward a Free Trade Agreement with the US, however, those talks have not moved
forward. The country's Free Trade Zones - offering 100% foreign ownership and
zero taxes - are helping to attract foreign investors. The global financial
crisis, tight international credit, and deflated asset prices constricted the
economy in 2009. UAE authorities tried to blunt the crisis by increasing
spending and boosting liquidity in the banking sector. The crisis hit Dubai
hardest, as it was heavily exposed to depressed real estate prices. Dubai
lacked sufficient cash to meet its debt obligations, prompting global concern
about its solvency. The UAE Central Bank and Abu Dhabi-based banks bought the
largest shares. In December 2009 Dubai received an additional $10 billion loan
from the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The economy is expected to continue a slow rebound.
Dependence on oil, a large expatriate workforce, and growing inflation
pressures are significant long-term challenges. The UAE''s strategic plan for
the next few years focuses on diversification and creating more opportunities
for nationals through improved education and increased private sector
employment.
