Fiscal reforms, combined with healthy hydrocarbon prices, should also see the country run a budget surplus by 2024, at a time when many advanced economies are operating deficits in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic and global uncertainty.
The UAE's robust economic performance is supporting the continued growth of the real estate sector.
