The UAE's fiscal performance reflects its reliance on oil revenues. High oil prices in the mid-2000s led to substantial surpluses, peaking at 20.2% in 2006. However, the 2014 oil price collapse and the pandemic in 2020 pushed the balance to -2.5%.
Recovery has been strong, with surpluses of 9.9% in 2022, supported by higher oil prices and diversification efforts. Forecasts indicate stabilization at 3.1% by 2029, showcasing the UAE’s robust economic policies and oil sector resilience.
