Highlights
UAE Banking sector is the largest by assets in the GCC; sector is
dominated by 23 local banks which account for more than 75% of banking
assets; 28 foreign banks account for the remainder
UAE Banking system liquidity tightened in 2008 due to outflow of c. AED
180 billion of speculative capital and the Global credit/liquidity crisis in Q3
2008
Government intervention during H2 2008 and 2009 helped improve
liquidity and capitalisation:
- Additional liquidity facilities from UAE Central Bank
- AED 50 billion deposited into local banks; option to convert to LT2 capital
- Deposit & capital market guarantees announced
- Tier injections by Abu Dhabi (AED 15 billion) and Dubai Governments
