Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/21/2014 --UAE new vehicle sales rose by 16.6% in 2013, to reach 362,838 units, according to information from the Focus2Move website. This strong performance was in line with BMI's thoughts on the subject. Looking forward, BMI retains an optimistic outlook on new vehicle sales in the UAE, forecasting growth of 36% from end-2013 to end-2018, to reach just under 500,000 units.

Underpinning our upbeat stance remains BMI's positive view on the medium-term outlook for the UAE economy. We forecast economic activity across the UAE to remain relatively robust over the coming quarters. Our core scenario sees real GDP growth of 3.9% in 2014, before picking up to 4.1% in 2015 as the debt funding cliff in Dubai passes. The risks to our outlook are relatively small and well-balanced. On the upside, any progress in talks between the US and Iran which lead to a reduction in sanctions would benefit the UAE, and in particular Dubai, given the importance of the re-export trade. In contrast, a sharper than expected decline in oil prices or any unplanned outages in oil production pose the most significant threat to our forecasts. Within the UAE, we are more bullish regarding Dubai's real estate, shipping and construction sectors, whilst Abu Dhabi will see growth constrained by our neutral-to-bearish outlook on oil prices.

A host of leading indicators also point to further economic expansion for the UAE. The UAE's purchasing managers' index (PMI) for February 2014 came in at 57.3, one of the highest readings over the past year and underlining our bullish outlook on the country's non-oil economy. In addition, consumer sentiment towards the UAE is picking up, with prices across real estate and equity markets having started to head sharply higher in recent months, which bodes well for the prospects for a positive wealth effect. Indeed, we are broadly bullish on real estate markets across the UAE, particularly in Dubai which will likely see double digit growth in prices for several months. In...
