UAE Economic Update (cont'd)
Highlights
Liquidity conditions have tightened, even as Eibor rates have remained
largely flat.
■ Bank lending remains relatively weak at 2.2% y-o-y in August. Deposit
growth has slowed and banks' holdings of certificates of deposits have
declined.
■ Dubai CDS spreads have widened again since the end of July, largely on the
back of global developments. Consequently, debt issuance has fallen sharply
over the summer.
