Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, said the UAE’s economic growth exceeded expectations as the country joined the 7 percent growth club.

The UAE’s economy grew by 7.6 percent last year, one of the highest in the world, with the non-oil sector growing by 6.6 percent.

According to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, the economy will see a marked upturn in 2022, with growth of 7.6%, the highest since 2007, driven largely by surging oil and gas prices.
