United Arab Emirates Economics:

In General: The United Arab Emirates boasts a prominent economy with a high per capita income and a significant trade surplus. The discovery of oil sparked the country’s economic development, while in recent times notable diversification has enhanced the economy.

Services: The services sector, which historically revolved around the petroleum industry, has expanded in recent times incorporating the burgeoning high-end tourism and international finance industries.

Industry: While the United Arab Emirates is becoming less dependent upon its oil reserves as a result of its economic diversification efforts, the country still relies in large part upon petroleum-related industry. More than 200 corporations operate at the Jebel Ali complex in Dubai, which includes a free trade zone for manufacturing and distribution.

Agriculture: With its desert terrain and abundance of natural resources, the agriculture sector plays a minuscule role in the economy of the United Arab Emirates.
