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 country 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. 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
