2014 GDP growth expectations for the UAE have been revised upwards to 5% due to a
strong expansion in the non-oil private sector.
2014 GDP growth expectations also revised upwards to 5% for Dubai as manufacturing,
hospitality, transport and logistics expanded robustly. Buoyant real estate and construction
sectors will also boost growth
In 2014 Dubai residential property price growth slowed significantly for villas and apartments
Inflation expected to rise to 3% in 2014 from 1.1% in 2013 on the back of higher housing
costs and higher input prices
Emirates NBD has improved its capital and funding profile allowing it to take advantage of the
expected future growth in Dubai and the region
As Dubai continues to grow we expect a further positive trend in impaired loans leading to a
stronger balance sheet
