IMF Executive Board Concludes 2016 Article IV Consultation with the United Arab Emirates
July 20, 2016--On July 20, 2016, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation 1 with the United Arab Emirates.
Persistently lower oil prices continue to weigh on economic sentiment and fiscal and external positions, but large buffers built over time have provided ample policy space, limited negative inward spillovers and contained the weakening of investor appetite.
Non-oil economic activity has slowed to 3.7 percent in 2015 driven by a contraction of public investment in the context of fiscal consolidation, and lower contribution from domestic private demand. Negative effects on overall growth were partially offset by the increase in oil production. Despite the strong fiscal policy response to adjust to lower oil prices, the fiscal balance turned to a deficit of 2.1 percent of GDP, while the current account surplus declined to 3.3 percent of GDP.
