Oil output boosts UAE growth target - The National

Economists have raised their forecasts for UAE growth this year as higher oil output helps to provide a buffer against ripples from a slower global economy.

GDP expansion will reach 3.3 per cent this year, up from a previous forecast of 2.6 per cent, National Bank of Abu Dhabi(NBAD) said in a regional economic outlook report released yesterday.

HSBC lifted its forecast by 0.9 percentage points to 3.7 per cent, according to the report.
