The UAE is planning to issue federal debt on international markets, aiming to raise between Dh80 billion and Dh100 billion, pending the passage of a national law. The move comes as the UAE faces a budget deficit and seeks to tap foreign capital markets to mitigate the impact of low oil prices.

Construction workers returning to India as UAE living costs soar and wages rise back home

01 Oct 2023  |  The National
Rising living costs in the UAE and increasing wages in India are prompting many Indian construction workers to return home. The UAE's construction industry, which has long relied on Indian labor, is now turning to workers from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, and the Philippines. Economic reforms in India, including interest rate cuts and infrastructure spending, are boosting the construction sector and improving living standards for workers. Family ties and the narrowing wage gap between the UAE and India are also influencing workers' decisions to stay in India. Employers in the UAE are facing challenges in hiring and retaining Indian laborers due to these shifts.

Album review: With The Force Awakens, John Williams finds his majestic music playing second fiddle to frenetic pacing

18 Jun 2021  |  thenationalnews.com
John Williams' score for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is special but plays a less prominent role compared to previous films due to J J Abrams' fast-paced direction. The soundtrack, while not equal to 'A New Hope' or 'The Empire Strikes Back', showcases Williams' genius in writing themes and motifs. The review highlights the dynamic nature of the score, with action sequences dominating and less room for expansive pieces. Rey's Theme and The Jedi Steps are noted as substantial compositions, but overall, the score is seen as constrained by the film's pacing.

Fed is more than just a black box of rational actors

15 Jun 2021  |  thenationalnews.com
The Federal Reserve's decision-making process is more complex than simply following economic models, as it considers a range of factors including labor market data, international economic conditions, and market opinions. Despite improvements in the US labor market, the Fed is taking a cautious approach, influenced by part-time employment rates, the economically inactive population, and the impact of interest rate rises on trading partners. The Fed's actions are also shaped by its institutional politics and legal dynamics, as well as public and elite opinion. Theories suggest that the Fed may need to adjust its approach to inflation targets to address the economy's performance since 2008.

Saudi Arabia considers cutting energy subsidies to manage budget deficit

14 Jun 2021  |  www.thenationalnews.com
Saudi Arabia is contemplating reductions in energy subsidies to address its growing budget deficit, with the oil minister Ali Al Naimi acknowledging the consideration of price increases. The kingdom faces a budget deficit of 21.6% of GDP, with the IMF warning of depleting financial reserves in five years if current spending continues. The drop in oil prices has significantly reduced government revenues, necessitating an oil price of around $105 per barrel to balance spending. While the Saudi government plans to cut infrastructure spending in 2016, other Gulf countries have also adjusted their energy subsidy policies. Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund has liquidated assets to fund the deficit, and the country has options due to low debt levels and substantial reserves.

UAE urged to keep public sector wages in check

The UAE is advised by the IMF to maintain control over public sector wages amidst a growing budget deficit. The IMF's Zeine Zeidane emphasizes the need for fiscal discipline, economic diversification, and structural reforms. The UAE's budget deficit is projected to reach 7.2% of GDP due to low oil prices, despite efforts at fiscal consolidation.
