Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - United Arab Emirates
We downgraded our 2025 GDP growth forecast for the UAE to 4.2% from 4.5%, reflecting our revised assumption that the reversal of production cuts will be delayed, likely starting in Q3 2025. The adjustment comes amid an oil price dip, fuelled by expectations of supply surpluses and China’s slow recovery, despite stimulus efforts. Oil production figures for November reflect this trend, with supply rising slightly, surpassing October’s total and the target.
