Non-oil sector propels UAE's GDP to nearly Dh1.8 trillion in 2024
The UAE's economy registered a growth of 4.0 per cent in real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, reaching Dh1.776 trillion, underscoring the resilience and dynamism of the country's non-oil sectors in the face of a challenging global environment. According to official data released by the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC) on Sunday, non-oil activities contributed an impressive 75.5 per cent to the national economy, amounting to Dh1.342 trillion, while oil-related GDP stood at Dh434 billion. The upbeat data has reinforced confidence in the UAE's long-term economic trajectory, driven by structural reforms, increased investment in non-oil sectors, and strategic initiatives under the 'We the UAE 2031' vision. The Ministry of Economy described the growth as a testament to the country's effective economic diversification strategy and its transformation into a knowledge- and innovation-driven economy. Minister of Economy Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri said the performance reflects the UAE's determination to build a sustainable, globally competitive economy. 'Each milestone brings us closer to our national goal of raising the GDP to Dh3 trillion by the next decade,' said Al Marri. 'We are committed to positioning the UAE as a global hub for the new economy by reinforcing sustainable development, leveraging emerging technologies, and enhancing international competitiveness.' Hanan Mansour Ahli, managing director of the FCSC, noted that the 4.0 per cent GDP growth 'mirrors the UAE's strategic foresight and focus on sustainable, non-oil-driven growth,' with diversified economic activity enhancing social well-being and national resilience. Among the fastest-growing contributors to GDP in 2024 was the transport and storage sector, which recorded a remarkable 9.6 per cent year-on-year growth, powered by a strong rebound in aviation and logistics. UAE airports handled a total of 147.8 million passengers during the year, a 10 per cent increase from 2023, reflecting the country's recovery as a global travel and logistics hub. The construction and real estate sectors also continued their upward momentum. The building and construction sector posted an 8.4 per cent increase, buoyed by robust infrastructure development across urban centres, while real estate activities grew by 4.8 per cent amid rising demand for residential and commercial properties. Financial and insurance services expanded by 7.0 per cent, reflecting strong capital inflows and healthy banking sector performance. The hospitality and food services sector grew by 5.7 per cent, supported by a surge in tourist arrivals and high hotel occupancy levels throughout 2024. In terms of sectoral contributions to the non-oil GDP, wholesale and retail trade led the way with a 16.8 per cent share, followed by manufacturing (13.5 per cent), financial and insurance activities (13.2 per cent), construction (11.7 per cent), and real estate (7.8 per cent). These indicators collectively signal a broad-based expansion across key pillars of the non-oil economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) echoed the optimism in its latest regional economic outlook, projecting that the UAE will maintain strong medium-term growth thanks to its effective policy mix and strategic diversification plans. The IMF said the UAE's fiscal and monetary policies, alongside targeted reforms in labour markets, green energy, and digital transformation, would underpin continued economic stability and competitiveness. The Central Bank of the UAE, in its most recent economic review, reaffirmed its growth forecast for 2024, noting that the non-oil sector remains the main engine of economic momentum. The apex bank said it expects the non-oil economy to grow by around 5.4 per cent in 2025, supported by steady domestic demand, robust trade activity, and rising levels of foreign direct investment (FDI). Analysts also highlight that the UAE's proactive steps toward climate resilience and hosting of global events such as COP28 have elevated its stature as a responsible economic player, further accelerating investment in green technologies, logistics, advanced manufacturing, and tourism infrastructure. Analysts added that as global headwinds from inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainties persist, the UAE's diversified economic model and prudent policy framework appear well-positioned to deliver sustainable growth and opportunity across sectors. With its ambitious vision to double the size of the economy by 2031, the UAE is increasingly seen as a model of modernisation and economic agility in the Arab Gulf region, they noted.

(NYSE: UBER), a global leader in ride-hailing and delivery, and WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD), a leading autonomous driving technology firm. Under the agreement, autonomous vehicles will begin pilot operations via the Uber app in Dubai later this year. Read- The initial phase will feature autonomous vehicles operating with a safety driver onboard to monitor performance and ensure safety. The full commercial rollout of driverless services is scheduled for 2026, Field preparations for the pilot program are currently underway, led by Uber and WeRide with strategic oversight and support from the RTA. Image credit: Dubai Media Office/Website The MoU signing ceremony was attended by Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at RTA; Madhu Kannan, Chief Business Officer at Uber; and Ryan Zhan, Regional General Manager of Middle East and Africa at WeRide. The agreement was signed by senior representatives from all three organizations, including Ahmed Hashim Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA's Public Transport Agency; Frans Hiemstra, Regional General Manager for MEA at Uber; and Eric Dong, Director of Capital Markets and Corporate Development at WeRide. Supporting Dubai's smart mobility vision Mattar Al Tayer hailed the agreement as a strategic step toward positioning Dubai as a global leader in smart and sustainable transport solutions. 'The introduction of autonomous vehicles in Dubai represents a significant leap toward a smart and sustainable mobility future, aligned with the leadership's vision to transform Dubai into the world's smartest city,' Al Tayer said. 'This initiative supports the Dubai Smart Self-Driving Transport Strategy, which aims to convert 25 per cent of all journeys in Dubai to autonomous transport by 2030.' Al Tayer emphasised that this agreement reflects Dubai's commitment to adopting advanced technologies and innovative transport solutions that align with global best practices. Strengthening global partnerships In his remarks, Al Tayer highlighted the role of global collaboration in advancing autonomous mobility. 'The RTA is expanding its network of international partners to deploy a diverse range of autonomous mobility solutions, including self-driving taxis, air taxis, and marine transport modes,' he said. 'This will enhance road safety, improve quality of life for residents and visitors, and support first and last-mile connectivity across the public transport network.' He added that the transition to autonomous mobility is no longer a futuristic concept but an emerging reality. 'Technology developers and governments worldwide are accelerating efforts to build infrastructure and regulatory frameworks that enable the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles,' Al Tayer noted. Uber and WeRide align with Dubai's vision Frans Hiemstra, Regional General Manager for the Middle East and Africa at Uber, underscored the importance of the Dubai launch in Uber's global strategy. 'At Uber, we are building the future of transportation—autonomous, electric, and shared,' Hiemstra said. 'We're excited to launch in Dubai with WeRide as our first technology partner. This marks a key milestone in making autonomous vehicle services more accessible globally.' Jennifer Li, Chief Financial Officer and Head of International at WeRide, echoed the sentiment, calling the MoU a major step forward in the company's regional expansion. 'The Middle East is a strategic priority for us,' Li said. 'Just last month, we expanded our partnership with Uber to deploy robotaxis in 15 additional cities globally. This new agreement with RTA and Uber strengthens our commitment to Dubai's goal of making 25 per cent of all transportation autonomous by 2030.' Li added that WeRide's advanced autonomous driving technology and global deployment experience position it to be a key enabler of this transformation. Conclusion The collaboration between RTA, Uber, and WeRide marks a pivotal milestone in Dubai's efforts to lead the world in autonomous mobility. With pilot testing set to begin by the end of 2025 and a full commercial launch planned for 2026, Dubai is firmly on track to become a global testbed for cutting-edge transportation technologies.
