United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) holds some of the world’s largest oil and gas reserves. It has one of the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AT A GLANCE
Oil and gas are the backbone of its economy contributing approx. 30% of its GDP. In the past two decades, the UAE implemented significant diversification strategies and policies allowing it to achieve a more balanced and sustainable economy for the future generations.
Today, trade, tourism, financial services, logistics and industry are key sectors that drive its non-oil GDP. With a healthy Government Debt to GDP, prudent fiscal policy, large foreign exchange reserves and foreign investments including those through its Sovereign Wealth Fund, the UAE enjoys excellent credit matrices.
UAE’s regulatory environment ranks favourably with investors making it one of the best nations to do business in, according to the World Bank’s publications.
