Highlights
•
Estimated GDP growth in 2012 at 3.7% on increased oil
production and strong non-oil sector growth
The UAE's PMI data was encouraging, with the overall index
rising to the highest level since May 2011; domestic demand
gained momentum in Q4 2012
Growth of 3.8% expected in 2013, with Abu Dhabi growth
expected to slow slightly in 2013 due to stabilization in oil
production however offset by a 5% expansion in non-oil sectors;
Dubai growth expected to accelerate to 3.9% in 2013 as
manufacturing, tourism and hospitality continue to benefit from
regional demand
Regional demand, buoyed by strong government spending in
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman expected to have a positive
knock-on impact on UAE's economy
