The UAE runs a current account surplus of 8% of GDP. According to S&P Global Ratings, the government also holds net financial assets worth about 184% of GDP. In other words, the state owns assets worth nearly twice the entire economy. Add a highly diversified economy with multiple engines of growth, and it helps explain the country’s resilience. By contrast, the UK runs a current account deficit of 4% and government debt is roughly the size of its entire economy. Very different fiscal realities.
