Unemployment in United Arab Emirates
United Arab Emirates - Unemployment
The economy seemingly started to recover in the third quarter, after the second quarter’s sharp contraction. In September, the PMI moved back into expansionary territory and recorded the best reading in 11 months, signaling an improvement in the business conditions of the non-oil private sector. However, the reading showed that employment levels continued to decrease, albeit at a slower pace than in August. Moreover, oil production hit a near-decade low in Q3, amid constrained output and low global prices, likely weighing on government finances. Additionally, the sharp increase in new Covid-19 cases through September–October poses a threat to the recovery, as restrictions could be tightened again. In other news, on 20 October the UAE and Israel struck a preliminary deal for the oil exporter to send oil directly to Europe via an Israeli pipeline, boding well for the UAE’s oil exports.United Arab Emirates - Unemployment Data
