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.
Emirates NBD is well placed to take advantage of the strong continued growth in Dubai
Capitalisation and liquidity continue to be extremely strong, offering resilience and
flexibility for the future
Conservative provisioning, de-risked and strengthened balance sheet offers strong
platform for capturing future growth opportunities
• The Bank has a clear strategy in place and is focused on relentless execution
