1. YEAR 2006 – A CLOSER LOOK

As predicted by industry experts, the UAE construction industry experienced

unprecedented growth in the year 2006, with order books hitting new highs for
most of the companies serving the industry, thus consolidating their presence in
the region. The year 2006 witnessed more activity especially in the building
construction sector compared to the year 2005. The activity is expected to
continue upbeat for the next few years as billions worth of projects are
announced to be in the pipeline and on the drawing boards.

According to the Ministry of Finance and Industry, investment in the UAE's

industrial sector hit a record Dhs.70.4 billion in 2006, an increase of more than 3
per cent compared with Dhs.68 billion in 2005. In the industrial sector, the three
notable events which took place in 2006 are the following: Mubadala
Development Company and Dubal signing an agreement on 18th February 2006 to
jointly build a US$6,000 million grassroots aluminium complex at Taweelah; Abu
Dhabi’s General Holding Corporation announced the signing of a heads of
agreement with Comalco Aluminium to proceed with a detailed feasibility study
for the development of an aluminium smelter in the emirate; ConocoPhillips (US)
announced signing of a heads of agreement with International Petroleum
Investment Company (IPIC) to carry out a feasibility study for the construction of
a refinery in Fujairah.

An array of key real estate developments were announced during 2006

throughout the country. The major announcements include the establishment of
Dubai Aerospace Enterprise to attract US$15,000 million investment by 2015;
US$27.2 billion Bawadi project by Tatweer, part of Dubai Holding; Fifth island
project in Dubai by Nakheel Corporation and Abu Dhabi’s largest real estate
project till date – the US$40,000 million Yas Island Development by Aldar
Properties.

The activities in the marine sector received a shot in the arm when the emirate of
Abu Dhabi unveiled plans to build the US$2,100 million Khalifa Port and Industrial
Zone at Taweelah during early 2006. The prominent events which took place in
2006 in the power and water sector include identification of two new sites –
Hassyan and Lehbab by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) for
construction of power and desalination plants for the future; government of Abu
Dhabi’s launch of Masdar alternative energy initiative; signing of key project
agreements on the Fujairah independent water and power project (IWPP)
between Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) and Sembcorp
Utilities; Launch of the 7th independent water and power project (IWPP) in
Fujairah by ADWEA; and approval of Abu Dhabi’s Taweelah A1 independent water
and power plant extension, to be known as A10 by the executive council.

2. GDP IN 2006 & 2007

The UAE is understood to have recorded the highest real Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) growth in 2006 at 10.2%, followed by Qatar at 7.5%, Kuwait at 6.5%,
Saudi Arabia at 6.2%, Bahrain at 6.0% and Oman at 5.0%. Qatar is expected to
lead the pack in terms of real GDP growth in 2007, rising by 8.6% as the country
boosts its natural-gas production by 42%, on top of the 8.9% increase of 2006.
The UAE will follow with real growth of 7.2%, Oman of 5.9%, Bahrain of 5.0%,
Saudi Arabia of 4.2%, and Kuwait of 4.1%. The lower growth rates projected for
2007 compared to 2006 are mainly due to the slight decline in oil output expected
this year and global factors that will result in a slight slowdown for foreign direct
investment (FDI) and economic growth globally, according to WTO and UNCTAD.
