Outlook Emirates NBD Economic Outlook . • . • • We have revised up the 2013 GDP forecast for the UAE to 4.4%, on the back of higher than expected oil output year-to-date, as well as strong expansion in the non-oil private sector. We expect GDP to grow by a further 4.1% in 2014 We retain our 2013 growth forecast of 3.9% for Dubai. Continued expansion in the trade and hospitality sectors as well as a continued recovery in real estate and business services should support broader business activity. Official inflation is likely to remain low in 2013, averaging around 1.5% before rising to 3% somewhat into 2014.
