2014-11-23
The UAE’s real GDP growth came to 5.2% in 2013, its highest growth recorded in seven years. The recovery trend was evident, including in the construction sector, which saw a turn to positive growth after stagnating in the years following the 2009 Dubai Debt Shock. Dubai is slated host the World Expo in 2020, which is expected to increase construction of large-scale facilities.
