Economy

UAE is one of largest oil and gas producing countries of the World. It has 9% of oil reserves and approximately 5% of gas reserves. Abu Dhabi has the predominant share in these reserves i.e. 95% and 92% of oil and gas reserves. Like almost every Middle East country natural resources are the back bone of economy of UAE. The IMF report says that the GDP group of UAE is around 12% in 2005 and expectedly more in near future (Emirates: Abu Dhabi-Country Profile).

The government of UAE, however, does not want to rely completely on oil and gas due to the fluctuation in its prices. It has been focusing on minimizing the country's economic reliance on oil and gas exports. With the government efforts and local and foreign investment in real state retail, tourism and industry the 64% of GDP now consists of non oil and gas sector. The government put huge investment and established Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and that has been handled by the Tourism and Development Investment Company (TDIC) to promote tourism and real estate sector. Hence, the economy is moving towards the right dimension in the whole UAE and especially Abu Dhabi, which is undergoing rapid economic growth due to huge foreign and local investment in the country from banks and financial institutions (Emirates: Abu Dhabi-Country Profile). .

The current boom in the real state market of the United Arab Emirates took place over the last few years and has made a significant difference to the economy. The ratio of real state was 2.5% of the economy which has reached to10.5% (Walters, Kadragic and Walters 78). The real estate is one of those sectors contributing heavily to the overall economy. This huge investment reflects the government interest in the development of real estate market.
