The report noted that this comes at a time when the global economy experienced a slowdown in 2022, with external risks remaining elevated in an environment characterised by higher inflation, tightening financial conditions and continued geopolitical tensions.
The UAE, the report said, was one of the fastest-growing economies in 2022, boosted by the removal of most COVID-19-related restrictions, a recovery in global travel and the tourism, real estate and construction and manufacturing sectors, as well as increased activity associated with global events such as the Dubai EXPO and FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The UAE real GDP increased by 7.9 per cent in 2022, compared to 4.4 per cent in 2021. This growth is the result of a 7.2 per cent increase in non-oil sector GDP and a 9.5 per cent expansion in oil-sector GDP, the report added. (ANI/WAM)
