Emirates NBD Earnings Presentation
Dubai Economic Update
Highlights
Dubai is the 3rd largest centre for re-exports in the world which itself
represents 44% of GDP
Dubai is a strategically located international trading hub with some of the
world's best air and sea ports serving over 205 destinations
■ In Dubai six 'strategic thrusts' for growth include travel and tourism; financial
services; professional services; transport and logistics services; trade and
storage; and construction.
Very large investments in infrastructure will have highly positive effects on the
long run development and productivity of the emirate
Lower inflation, stable USD and property market declines have enhanced
Dubai's cost-competitiveness
Strength in emerging market currencies leaves UAE markets relatively cheap
by comparison.
