UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES - 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
