BRIEF HISTORY OF DUBAI

The UAE is a wealthy, medium-sized economy located in The Middle East. UAE has a population of 10.41 million people (Quandlbeta).
The UAE is made up of 7 Emirates or provinces. They are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). Each Emirate varies significantly in size, population, hydrocarbon resources and economic structure. Dubai is the second largest Emirate in the UAE in terms of size and population. Dubai still has significant hydrocarbon reserves and revenue, relative to its population, but its production has declined since the late 1990s. (QNB Group, 2013)

Dubai’s vision was always to become the economic hub and the financial centre of the region. Structurally Dubai is determined to boost long term non-oil GDP growth relying on the production of non-oil products and the provision of the services. Dubai is counting on major economic sectors for the realization of this vision. These are namely

    Qatar’s economy slowed through 2012, with the pace of expansion falling to just 3.9% in Q3 from 5% in Q2. This slowdown largely reflects the impact of the self-imposed moratorium on LNG expansion, but also the slowdown of growth in oil production. GDP growth is set to remain at these lower levels for the foreseeable future, with activity more dependent on government spending and the non-oil sector. GDP is forecast to grow by 5% in 2013 with broadly flat oil and gas production. A slight upturn to 6% growth is expected in 2014, aided by a modest increase in LNG output and an expected rise in oil prices. Oman’s economy grew by around 5% in 2012, helped by rising oil output (up 4%) and natural gas production (up 8.2%) as well as heavy government spending. For 2013, GDP growth is forecast to slow slightly to 4.6%, reflecting weaker spending growth and a smaller rise in oil output. Government revenues grew by an estimated 26% in 2012 thanks to rising oil and gas earnings. And although state spending rose by nearly as much, the budget surplus rose to around 8% of GDP. Budget plans confirm spending will remain high in 2013, helped also by around US$1bn in GCC funding. However, an expected 6.6% fall in the oil price will dampen revenues, cutting the budget surplus to some 6% of GDP.…
