PESTLE Analysis of the UAE 2015, February 2016
The UAE economy is dominated by the industrial sector, which contributed approximately 58.2% to the total GDP in 2014. Mining and quarrying made the major contribution of 34.6% to GDP. The UAE significantly relies on its hydrocarbon sector where the share of oil-related activities accounted for about 29% and non-oil activities accounted for 71% of total GDP in 2014. Strong investment plans of the UAE government in infrastructure and major projects will support the high growth of the economy. The UAE government has diversified the economy from the oil sector to the non-oil sector. The non-oil sector that includes tourism, hospitality, and finance is expected to drive economic growth during the forecast period.
