United Arab EmiratesChapitres
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven states that has grown from a quiet backwater to one of the Middle East's most important economic centres.
The UAE's society is religiously and ethnically diverse, with Islam as the majority religion and Arabic as the official language, though English is widely spoken, especially in business. The government is a federal semi-constitutional monarchy, with a president and prime minister, and its economy is open market-based.
Before oil was discovered in the 1950s the UAE's economy was dependent on fishing and a declining pearl industry. But since oil exports began in 1962, the country's society and economy have been transformed.
The UAE has diversified and has become a regional trading and tourism hub.
Abu Dhabi is the capital and largest emirate, while Dubai is the largest city.

Indicateurs macroéconomiques
The UAE’s economic growth remains strong, supported by resilient domestic demand and ongoing structural reforms. The oil sector continues to anchor fiscal and external balances, while diversification efforts are accelerating to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerabilities. Non-oil growth is underpinned by strategic investments in infrastructure, technology, and human capital. Reforms in governance, trade, and energy are reinforcing sustainability and facilitating the shift toward a more diversified growth model. Cross-border energy ties are expected to intensify following announcements of a deepening energy investments plans with the USA. Risks stem from supply chain challenges, including those from affected Red Sea routes, and could weigh on tourism, transport, and logistics. While the outlook remains subject to external uncertainties, substantial sovereign buffers, ongoing structural reforms, and strong investment momentum provide a solid foundation for sustained growth.
