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 from the oil and gas sector to 30%.
Since the discovery of oil in the UAE nearly 60 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 of 2008-09, 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 Government that was refinanced in March 2014.
The UAE’s dependence on oil is a significant long-term challenge. Low oil prices have prompted the UAE to cut expenditures, including on some social programs, but the UAE has sufficient assets in its sovereign investment funds to cover its deficits. The government reduced fuel subsidies in August 2015, and has announced plans to introduce excise and value-added taxes by January 1, 2018. The UAE's strategic plan for the next few years focuses on economic diversification, promoting the UAE as a global trade and tourism hub, developing industry, and creating more job opportunities for nationals through improved education and increased private sector employment.

COUNTRY
OUTLOOK
The economy continues to experience a
slowdown in economic growth as a result of low oil prices. Real GDP achieved
sustained growth of over 6 % per year in recent decades, with oil surpluses
invested into the non-oil economy. In particular, the country has managed to
develop the Dubai financial and real-estate centres, international airline hubs
in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and sports-tourism in a number of Emirates as well as
light manufacturing and transport and retail trade services. However, since
June 2014, it has been affected by the plummeting of global oil prices which
has resulted in a drop-in hydrocarbon exports and revenues. While it managed to
sustain growth rates of 4.6% in 2014, growth in 2015 is estimated to have
declined to 3.4%.
Fiscal and external balances are
deteriorating and macro-financial risks are increasing. A drop-in hydrocarbon
revenues coupled with expansionary fiscal policy has pushed the fiscal balance
down from a surplus of 10.4% of GDP in 2013 to a 5% surplus in 2014 and to an
estimated deficit of -4.3% of GDP by end-2015. The fiscal deficit of 2015 is
the first since the financial crisis of 2009 when the real estate bubble in
Dubai burst. The current account surplus fell from 18.4% of GDP in 2013 to
13.7% of GDP in 2014 and to a mere 0.2% of GDP by end-2015.
Monetary policy is tightening, as is
liquidity in the banking system. The Central Bank raised the interest rate on
its certificates of deposit by 25 basis points in December 2015 in response to
the United States’ Federal Reserve rate increase. It is expected to continue
mirroring the Fed’s interest rate hikes. At the same time, reduced government
deposits are resulting in reduced liquidity in the banking sector.
The growth outlook is one of slow recovery,
averaging 2.5 % between 2016 and 2018. Oil production will increase as a result
of investment in oilfield development. Non-hydrocarbon growth will rise as
megaproject implementation ramps up ahead of Dubai’s hosting of Expo 2020, and
as the lifting of sanctions on Iran translates into increased commerce, trade,
and investment between Iran and the UAE (particularly Dubai). These
developments will jointly help to narrow the current account deficit from an
estimated deficit of –1.7% of GDP in 2016 to a forecasted deficit of -0.2% of
GDP in 2018.
Fiscal policy will continue to tighten, but
ensuring fiscal sustainability will require additional policy measures to cut
spending, develop new revenue streams, and manage fiscal risks. The UAE
government has reported that it will
be implementing a value-added tax (VAT) at
the latest by 2018, along with other GCC countries. It is also considering the
introduction of a corporate tax. This will help improve the fiscal balance.
Other consolidation measures are needed, including a reduction in electricity
and water subsidies and a gradual slowdown in the implementation of GRE’s
(Government Related Entities) megaprojects.
