Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, UAE Minister of Economy, commended on April 17, the resolution issued by UAE Cabinet to set up the National Industrial Coordination Council, with the aim to boost the production base of the national economy through diversification of its sources to withstand challenges and contribute towards sustainable development.

Mr. Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy stated that the current slump in the world oil prices poses a real challenge to oil exporting countries but did not have any impact on the UAE's economy, thanks to the economic diversification policy adopted by the country.

UAE’s non-oil total foreign trade volume of 2015 reached approximately Dhs1.56 trillion, with the direct trade data, representing 68 per cent of UAE total trade volume with the value of Dhs1.06 trillion and the Free Zone Trade data, representing 32 per cent of UAE total trade volume with the value of Dhs497 billion. Commissioner Ali Al Kaabi, Head of the Federal Customs Authority, FCA, stated that the total non-oil trade of UAE in the past year has seen a remarkable stability due to the economic diversification and declining

oil sector’s contribution to GDP in favour of the productive and service sectors.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, has announced its strongest annual financial results, with a net profit of $ 103 million on total revenues of $ 9.02 billion. The performance, which marked the airline’s fifth consecutive year of net profitability, also saw earnings before interest and tax, EBIT, of $ 259 million, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and rentals, EBITDAR, of $ 1.4 billion,representing 16 percent of total revenues.

This is an increase of 17 per cent compared to the net profit of Dhs1.026 billion ($ 279 million) during the same period last year. Led by significant progress in construction of its projects, Emaar’s Q1 2016 revenue was Dhs 3.529 billion ($ 961 million), 17 per cent higher than the Q1 2015 revenue of Dhs 3.024 billion ($ 823 million). Recurring revenues from the shopping malls and hospitality businesses during Q1 2016 were Dhs 1.555 billion (US$ 423 million), 44 per cent of the total revenue.

Director-General of the WTO thanked UAE for being the first Arab country to deposit its instrument of acceptance and hoped that other countries would see UAE as a role model to follow in this regard.

A healthy increase in visitor numbers, driven by the show’s renewed B2B focus and buoyed by positive indicators from the region’s tourism sector saw the successful end of this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM 2016) exhibition in Dubai which was held from 25 – 28 April 2016.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) plans to extend its “mega tender" scheme, after the company’s pilot tender halved the cost of a major steel purchase for its operating companies. The new approach to procurement is part of Adnoc’s broader push to streamline operations to bear down on costs in a world where oil prices are expected to recover only slowly from the crash of the past 18 months. It is also part of a wider reform process in the region as governments push for a more rapid transformation away from a public-sector mentality to a more entrepreneurial approach, including using the massive buying power of incumbent state hydrocarbon companies to foster associated local industry, including steel and chemicals.

capacity of about 1.6 million barrels per day – expired at the end of 2013 and it took more than a year for the Supreme Petroleum Council, on the advice of Adnoc, to award its first stakes in the new 40-year concessions.

The project is expected to be fully completed by the second half of this year. All of the 290-watt solar home systems are designed, supplied and installed under a project that is being executed by the Masdar Special Projects team.
