Summary

This paper reviews economic developments in the United Arab Emirates during 1995–98. Real GDP growth accelerated from about 5 percent in 1994 to 8.1 percent in 1995 and to 10.1 percent in 1996. However, 1997 saw a marked slowdown in real GDP growth, to an estimated 2.1 percent, reflecting mainly a decline in oil sector GDP. Over the period 1993–96, there was strong growth in non-oil GDP averaging 9½ percent per year, boosted by an exceptionally good performance in 1994 (12 percent).
