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. 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 and ultimately a $20 billion bailout from the UAE Central Bank and Abu Dhabi-emirate government that was refinanced in March 2014. 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.

LEGAL FORM & OWNERS

 

Date of Establishment  : September 2005

 

History                         : Subject’s operations date back to the completion of the Port Rashid in 1972.

  The port’s location near to the city centre, its all-new infrastructure and Dubai’s

  thriving business community made it an instant success. By 1978 the number of  

  berths was increased to 35 - including five berths large and deep enough to

  handle the largest container vessels.

 

In 1976 construction began on the world’s largest man-made harbour at Jebel Ali, which was completed in 1979 and became known as Jebel Ali Port and Free

  Zone.

 

In May 1991, Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone merged with Port Rashid to form Dubai Ports Authority which led to a dramatic increase in throughput to cross one million TEU’s.

 

  Formally established in September 2005, DP World has emerged from the  

  corporate integration between Dubai Ports Authority and DPI Terminals, to

  become one of the largest global port operators to date.

 

Legal Form                  : Limited Liability Company

 

Issued Capital              : US$ 1,660,000,000

 

Paid up Capital            : US$ 1,660,000,000

 

 

Name of Shareholder (s)                                           Percentage

·       Local businessmen and private investors                   19.55%

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

Activities: Engaged as operators of international ports and terminals.

 

Its portfolio currently consists of 65 container terminals, 4 free zones and 3 logistics centres it currently manages in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Australia and Latin America.

 

Subject continues to invest in developments and expansions, with new developments to come in India, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Many of our existing terminals also have the ability to increase capacity, as utilisation and customer demands grow. Its investment pipeline is anticipated to increase its gross capacity to more than 100 million TEU by 2020, subject to market demand.

 

DP World was created in 2005 by successfully integrating Dubai Ports Authority (DPA) and DPI Terminals. Over the course of the past year, DP World has continued its expansion by adding terminals in Yemen, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, India, and China, increasing its current capacity of 20 million TEU to an estimated 42 million TEU over the next five years.

 

In 2013, DP World handled nearly 55 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent container units) across its portfolio from the Americas to Asia. With a pipeline of expansion and development projects in key growth markets, including India, China and the Middle East, capacity is expected to rise to around 92 million TEU by 2020, in line with market demand.

 

Operating Trend: Steady

 

Subject has a workforce of approximately 30,000 employees.
