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.
