The UAE economy is collapsing

THE UAE economy is NOT collapsing. You are stretching it way too far. The UAE economy is under pressure from a regional war shock, higher energy disruption, and Hormuz risk, but that is very different from collapse. Even Reuters reported that UAE non oil business activity was still expanding in March, with the PMI at 52.9. That is slower growth, not economic free fall. Dubai stocks hit a six week high last week and the UAE market had its second straight week of gains. And the whole point about asking for dollar support is being twisted... The UAE dirham is pegged to the U.S. dollar, so dollar liquidity matters a lot more in the UAE than it would in a country with a floating currency. The IMF says the dirham’s dollar peg remains a strong anchor, and the UAE central bank has already added dirham and dollar liquidity to support banks. That is what central banks do during stress, they strengthen liquidity before issues arise. Also, let’s be honest, this is not just a UAE story. The IMF cut its 2026 global growth outlook to 3.1 percent because of the Middle East war shock and warned a worse scenario could drag the world closer to recession. U.S. retail sales got a temporary boost from higher gasoline receipts, but economists are already warning weakness is looming as households feel the squeeze. Germany’s investor morale just sank to a three year low on Iran war fears, and Moody’s said India would take a hit too if energy disruption drags on. So if you want to call every economy facing war driven pressure a “collapse,” then you’d have to say half the world is collapsing right now.

Thank you for publishing the facts about the UAE; it is an enemy of all peoples and a rogue, Nazi-like state that supports chaos, murder, terrorism, and gangs.

Not really, they have about a trillion in USTreasuries and they want to swap those directly with Fed for dollars. Rather than dump them on the market and cause the market to collapse.

Can someone please explain to this sausage what an FX Swap is ? I’m tired of these people using UAE or Dubai in false clickbait titles just to use for engagement farming and to get more views , it’s pathetic. UAE is and always will be a formidable economy! We’re only growing !

I never thought they will just burn the UAE card this easy , they litterlary sold them self to them for nothing in return . sad

uae vs Iran right now 🤣

Why UAE is not selling gold,which is stolen over dead bodies of poor Sudan people.

Why does this guy struggle saying every third word? Ecomee… youuuayyye… youuesss. Focus on articulating English before you become a journalist, content creator

The sand will reclaim that zio dump and heal it

This is just pure propaganda and misinterpretation of the facts.. UAE economy is still doing well and although GDP forecast might be lower, it's still expected to be positive. The currency swap is just to boost short term liquidity if needed. Fundamentals are still very strong.

The look on Bin Rashid’s face speaks volumes: a nation’s ambition for the top has been derailed by Bin Zayed’s gambles. This isn't the silence of peace, but the silence of a broken leader seeing his legacy crumble under reckless and shortsighted policies. #Dubai

All I'm saying lads, is that they have a house in the desert to see you for cheap 😂

Dubye bye for helping Zionist. This is Allahs Lanat. The children of Abraham are the Palestinians.

UAE is mini Isreal

Leave the UAE bro you desperately need a financial education

Let's hope that sick entity also ends

IAE if fine!! Spread lies

But I thought they said they are the biggest winners of this War😭?

If they don’t change their ways, game over in under a year 💀

UAE brokers are going broke

The game is rigged, market manipulation #Greed

They should ask for loan from China.

@eAndUAE it will be collapsed In Shaa Allah Amen

LOL As a UAE resident - this is farcical! Housing market down 50% ??? Ridiculous

Not just the UAE economy but almost all USD-pegged economies will suffer greatly if the US aggressiveness continue toward the world. This war and anti ally posture is pushing nations away from dependence on the USD umbrella and into alternative defence asset baskets.

No. USD and AED are pegged. What type of drugs are you on ?

I confirm uou is way worst that you even mentioned.

Idiot
