The value-added of this sector rose from AED 46.43 billion in 2006 to AED 58.30 billion in 2007, while its contribution to gross domestic product increased from 7.4% to 8.0%. As a result of the State’s continued commitment to provide higher standard public services to meet the increasing requirements of a growing population, the output of the government services sector increased by 22.7% in 2007 , compared to 2006 level. The value-added of this sector reached AED 49.27 billion against AED 40.15 billion and its contribution to gross domestic product rose from 6.4% to 6.8%. The output of the manufacturing industries sector rose from AED 75.56 billion in 2006 to AED 90.53 billion in 2007 (19.8%). Such increase was due to a rise in prices of petroleum products and gas, in line with the increase in oil prices during 2007. The value added of the real estate and business services sector recorded an increase of 16.9% in 2007 compared to 2006 levels, rising from AED 47.46 billion in 2006 to AED 55.50 billion in 2007. This increase was mainly owed to a rise in number and prices of residential units. It is noteworthy that the contribution of this sector to gross domestic product remained unchanged at 2006 level (7.6%). As a result of strengthening commercial activity in the UAE, the value added of of wholesale, retail trade and maintenance sector increased by 13.1%, rising from AED 64.35 billion in 2006 to AED 72.78 billion in 2007 owing to the incraese in value and volume of imports, on the one hand, and the increase in domestic industrial prodution on the other. 16 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 AR2007 Page 01-22 ( Final).qxp 7/5/2008 9:02 AM Page 17 The financial enterprises sector achieved a growth rate of 11.5% in 2007 compared to 2006 level. The value-added of this sector rose from AED 36.71 billion in 2006 to AED 40.92 billion in 2007. Such figures reflect increased activity by banking and insurance companies, with banking operations expanding to meet the requirements of rela estate and construction activities on the one hand, and the need for insurance services arising as a rersult of expanding eonomic activity on the other. The transportation, storage and communication sector recorded a growth rate of 8.3% in 2007, compared to 2006 levels, reaching AED 42.93 billion although its contribution to gross domestic product dropped from 6.3% in 2006 to 5.9% in 2007. The increase in the value added of this sector may be attributed to the pick-up in communication services activity in general and the entry of DU Telecommunications Company to the market during 2007. It may also be attributed to the increase in air transportation activity resulting from growing numbers of tourists, and the increase in sea transportation resulting from increases in volumes of imports and exports. With the expansion in tourism activity in the country, and with all necessary facilities that would ensure an effective role for the hotels and restaurants sector in the economy in place, the output of this sector grew by 6.4% in 2007, compared to 2006 level, reaching AED 11.42 billion. With gross domestic product, at current prices, increasing by 16.8% against an increase by 6.1% in population, GDP per capita rose by 10.1% in 2007, compared to 2006, reaching AED 162.60 thousand against AED 147.70 thousand in 2006.

As a result of the increase in the contribution of the oil sector, the contribution of the goods production sectors to total output rose from 61.4% in 2006 to 62.4% in 2007. When excluding the output of the extracting industries (mainly oil and natural gas), the contribution of the goods production sectors would rise in 2007 to 38.6% against 37.5% in 2006. That means that the services sector accounted for nearly 61.4% of total non-mining output during 2007, compared to 62.5% in 2006. Analysis of estimates of gross domestic product by major expenditure categories show that gross final consumption (government and private) increased by 20.1% in 2007, compared to its 2006 level, reaching AED 396.06 billion and hence its ratio to total output rose from 53.3% in 2006 to 54.8% in 2007.

The Balance of Payments Owing to the increase in receipts of exports of the hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon sectors, the surplus in the trade balance (FOB) rose in 2007 by 11.8% compared to 2006, reaching AED 236.15 billion, despite increase in total imports. The value of exports of the hydrocarbon sector rose by 20.4% to reach AED 309.92 billion, and the value of exports of the non- hydrocarbon sector increased by almost similar ratio to reach AED 125.73 billion. The increase in the value of exports of the hydrocarbon sector may be attributed to the rise in oil prices, and hence prices of natural gas, condensates and petroleum products, during 2007. The weighted average of oil prices rose from US $ 63.53 a barrel in 2006 to US $ 71.70 a barrel in 2007 (12.9%) and as a result, the value of oil exports ( including condensates, which are not included in the country’s production quota set by OPEC) rose from AED 213.37 billion in 2006 to AED 261.42 billion in 2007 (22.5%) and the value of gas exports increased by 9.3% , compared to 2006, to reach AED 28.50 billion. Likewise, receipts of petroleum products rose to AED 20.0 billion in 2007, against AED 18.0 billion in 2006 (11.1%). As a result of an established government policy of diversifying sources of income through creation of a favorable environment for the industrial sector and owing to domestic financing institutions’ continued provision of financing at reasonable terms, the value of commodity exports continued to rise over the past few years, reaching AED 42.07 billion in 2007, against AED 29.23 billion in 2006 (43.9%). The value of exports of the free zones also increased from AED 75.29 billion in 2006 to AED 83.66 billion in 2007. Moreover, the value of re-exports (including nonmonetary gold) also rose to AED 228.69 billion in 2007, against AED 172.71 billion in 2006 (32.4%). ANNUAL REPORT 2007 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 31 AR2007 Page 23-48 ( Final).qxp 7/5/2008 9:15 AM Page 32 On the other hand, the value of total imports - CIF (including estimated goods imports to all emirates of the country, free zone imports and imports of non-monetary gold) registered a new record, reaching AED 486.58 billion in 2007, against AED 367.46 billion in 2006 (32.4%). This may be attributed to population increase, the need to meet the requirements of re-exports, a higher propensity to spend among individuals, increases in numbers of tourists, in addition to the role of commercial festivals held at various times of the year in invigorating commercial activity. It is noteworthy that as a result of depreciation of the US dollar, and hence the UAE dirham against most major currencies and against currencies of UAE major trade partners, in addition to the increase in prices of commodities in countries of origin, the increase in value of imports may not reflect increase in their volume. With the continued increase in estimated net imports (minus total estimated total value of re-exports and exclusive of free zones imports and imports of non-moonetary gold) by 41.1% in 2007, compared to 2006 levels, and an increase by 6.1% in population during the same period, imports per capita rose from AED 27.98 thousand in 2006 to AED 37.22 thousand in 2007 (33.0%). Data on the structure of imports in 2007 show that consumer goods, capital goods and intermediate goods maintained the same shares achieved in 2006, recording 54.2%, 35.5% and 10.3% of total imports respectively. 32 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 AR2007 Page 23-48 ( Final).qxp 7/5/2008 9:15 AM Page 33 The geographical distribution of total imports shows that the share of Asian countries increased from 46.7% in 2006 to 46.9% in 2007.Within this group, India continued to rank first. Menawhile, the share of European countries dropped from 35.3% to 35.0%, with the European Union countries recording a share of 28.5%. Within this group, Germany ranked first (7.7%) followed by the United Kingdom (5.1%). The share of the group of Arab countries increased from 5.5% in 2006 to 5.9% in 2007, while the share of the group of American counries declined from 9.5% to 9.3%. Within the current account items, the net outcome of investment income achieved by various investment institutions in 2007 increased from AED 17.40 billion in 2006 to AED 21.50 billion in 2007. The debit balance of services, which includes freight and insurance, tourism, travel and government services continued to rise, reaching AED 87.61 billion in 2007, against AED 66.23 billion in 2006 (32.3%). The net balance of the financial account reached AED 41.52 billion in 2007, against AED (-58.99) billion in 2006. This was mainly due to the increase in private sector’s inflows, which rose from AED 87.59 billion in 2006 to AED 217.32 billion in 2007 (148.1%), despite the increase in the public sector’s outflows from AED 146.58 billion in 2006 to AED 175.80 billion in 2007. The final position of the balance of payments in 2007 shows a surplus of AED 183.24 billion, against a surplus of AED 23.89 billion in 2006.
