Unemployment in United Arab Emirates
United Arab Emirates - Unemployment
The non-oil economy appears to have started 2019 on a solid footing. The PMI rebounded to a seven-month high in January after a lull at the end of 2018, signaling solid prospects in the non-oil sector thanks primarily to strong domestic demand. Employment growth, however, remains low due to ongoing pressure on firms’ margins. Meanwhile, though OPEC+ cuts weighed on oil production so far in Q1, crude oil prices consequently rebounded, which should buttress the government’s coffers going forward. Furthermore, the public sector will likely be a key driver of growth in Q1 and throughout the year, as the large fiscal stimulus approved both at the federal and emirate level should have begun lifting economic activity in the quarter.United Arab Emirates - Unemployment Data
