    Introduction to UAE

    The UAE consists of seven states, termed emirates, which are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman,

    Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The capital and second largest city of the United

    Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi. It is also the country's center of political, industrial, and cultural

    activities. The United Arab Emirates has the world's sixth largestoil reserves. and possesses one

    of the most developed economies in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates is a founding

    member of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, and a member state of the

    Arab League. It is also a member of the United Nations,Organisation of the Islamic Conference,

    and the World Trade OrganizationAlthough the United Arab Emirates is becoming less dependent

    on natural resources as a source of revenue, petroleum and natural gas exports still play an

    important role in the economy, especially in Abu Dhabi. A massive construction boom, an

    expanding manufacturing base, and a thriving services sector are helping the UAE diversify its

    economyAs a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the UAE participates in the wide

    range of GCC activities that focus on economic issues. These include regular consultations and

    development of common policies covering trade, investment, banking and finance, transportation,

    telecommunications, and other technical areas, including protection ofintellectual property rights

    The following is the Gross Domestic Product of each Emirate in the U.A.E. (shown ingraph). All data is estimated from 2007. American dollar to Emirati Dirham is calculated

    with 3.673 DHs to 1 USD pegged exchange rate.

    Abu Dhabi - 110 billion American dollars or 404.03 billion Emirati Dirhams.

    Annual Growth rate: 12%

    Dubai - 54.315 billion American dollars or 199.5 billion Emirati Dirhams.

    Annual Growth rate: 19.2%

    Sharjah - 18.622 billion American dollars or 68.4 billion Emirati Dirhams.

    Annual Growth rate: 13.2%

    Ajman - 2.722 billion American dollars or 9.99 billion Emirati Dirhams. Annual

    Growth rate: 27%

    The three remaining Emirates (Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and

    Fujairah) contribute very little to the overall Gross Domestic Product of the U.A.E. and,

    therefore, their GDP is not calculated often. The difference between the GDP for the entire

    United Arab Emirates and the GDP of the four Emirates listed above is about 7 billion

    American dollars or 25.711 Emirati Dirhams.

    The overall industrial sector weathered the second half of 2008s economic slowdown well on the back of a strong export and re-exports market.

    However, 2009 remains a challenging year with the manufacturing climate expected to weaken.

    Heightening the concern is a financing and credit environment that is currently in turmoil.

    Increased competition and weakened domestic demand will limit manufacterers' ability to pass oncosts to end consumers.

    In addition, it is increasingly difficult to obtain financing amid a tightened credit market which islimiting companies' plans for expansion and putting increased pressure on managing workingcapital. Whats' more, employment levels, inventories and manufacturers' order backlogs are alsosinking

    Performance

    Although highly arid, the United Arab Emirates has been able to develop a thriving

    agricultural industry. Despite rapid population growth, it is now self-sufficient in some

    vegetable crops throughout the year. Small-scale farming based upon exploitation of

    underground water resources began in desert oases and mountain valleys at least 5000

    years ago, but the lack of rainfall made large scale agriculture impossible.

    Now, modern irrigation techniques and water from deep artesian aquifers and from

    desalination has made it possible for large areas to be cultivated. There are now more than

    100,000 hectares of cultivated land, producing a range of crops, including salad vegetables,

    potatoes, fruit and fodder, as well as flowers, grown mainly for export to Europe. In

    traditional mountain farms, production of tropical fruits like papaya and citrus as well as

    tobacco continues. The Government supports agriculture through preparation of land for

    farms which are distributed free to citizens, and follows this up with a free agricultural

    extension service. Farmers are also offered a guaranteed price for produce and subsidized

    machinery and fertilizers

    Financial service sector

    Performance of insurance sector

    The UAE insurance industry is projected to grow between 5% and 8% this year despite

    negative impact of the financial crisis on the industry

    The sector is expected to stabilize this year with the dampening of economic slowdown.Insurance premiums surged from Dh14.59 Billion in 2007 to Dh18.3 Billion last year(2008), resulting in overall industry growth of 25.42%. Property insurance premiums alsoposted growth of 31.1%, taking premium revenue from Dh11.9 Billion in 2007 to Dh15.6billion in 2008.Domestic insurers total premiums for property and liability insurance stood at Dh14.5Billion last year. Claims ratio (excluding re-insurance share) for property and liability

    insurance declined in 2008 to 57.6% against 62.2% in its previous year (2007)

    Performance of banking sector

    The UAE's banking sector has weathered the international financial crisis and now stands

    on solid ground, says Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher

    Education and Scientific Research.

    "The outlook for all the UAE's banks is very positive," he added. "Without government

    support the banks would not have weathered the crisis, especially during the difficult first

    phase. Today, we confirm that the banks have regained the full confidence of their clients.

    Their performance has improved and sufficient liquidity is available. All of this confirms

    that the UAE's economy is sound."

    He pointed out that crises in the banking sector were not new.

    "There have been crises, the latest of which was the international financial crisis. But

    undoubtedly we got through them by virtue of wise political leadership, which does not

    limit the support it gives to the state's institutions, including economic institutions and

    banks(30 nov)

    exchange market .but now recovery has been seen in the stock exchange market. and every

    thing is going to be normal now.

    estate and now there are no enough buyers to buy property because of global crises. due to this company
