This came on the back of what it cited as a strong net external asset position and high GDP per capita, as well as Abu Dhabi\u2019s sovereign asset position, which is among the highest of Fitch-rated sovereigns. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This is despite the geopolitical risks posed by the conflict between Israel and Ira<\/strong><strong>n<\/strong>, which it said could cause \u201cshort-term disruptions\u201d to trade and hydrocarbon infrastructure that it expects the UAE to absorb due to large fiscal and external buffers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Also supporting Abu Dhabi\u2019s rating is the emirate\u2019s low government debt<\/strong> \u2014 which is among the lowest of Fitch-rated sovereigns. However, Abu Dhabi\u2019s rating is constrained by a combination of \u201ca high dependence on hydrocarbons, a relatively weak but improving economic policy framework and low governance indicators compared with peers,\u201d the agency wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Local currency debt to increase:<\/strong> The ratings agency expects Abu Dhabi\u2019s debt to rise to 18.2% of GDP, up from 17.4% in 2024, as the government issues more local-currency debt to support the domestic market, alongside more issuances from government-related entities. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Growth to remain strong: <\/strong>Fitch sees the UAE\u2019s headline growth coming in at 5.2% this year, supported by a 9% increase in oil production as Opec+ hikes the UAE\u2019s production quota. Non-oil growth is pegged at 4% this year. For Abu Dhabi, GDP is expected to grow at 6.3% in 2025 and 4% for 2026. The agency also sees non-oil growth remaining strong across the coming years, after it recorded 6.2% growth in 2024, driven by major projects and population growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How this compares: <\/strong>The growth forecast is optimistic compared to other ratings agencies and banks, with Emirates NBD <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/8c76fceb-bf83-46f8-ab02-2567ac858bb6\/s&p-global-ratings-assigns-the-uae-a-long-term-credit-rating-of-aa-%2B-emirates-nbd-gives-its-two-cents-on-the-uae%25e2%2580%2599s-economy\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">forecasting 4.8% growth<\/a> this year, the IMF and S&P Global both expecting a more modest 4% growth, and the World Bank forecasting 4.6% growth. The CBUAE expects a stronger 4.7% GDP growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The fiscal forecast:<\/strong> The agency expects Abu Dhabi to pencil in a budget surplus of 7% of GDP in 2025, down from 9.9% in 2024 \u2014 a prediction that it bases on its Brent crude oil price forecast of USD 65 per barrel and forecast for oil production of 3.2 mn bbl\/d. The surplus is expected to widen to 8% in 2025 on the back of \u201chigher oil production, modest spending growth and the start of corporate income tax receipts.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There are factors that could lead to a downgrade for Abu Dhabi:<\/strong> \u201cSubstantial erosion of fiscal and external positions, for example, due to a sustained decline in oil prices, or a materialisation of contingent liabilities,\u201d coupled with \u201ca geopolitical shock that negatively affects economic, social or political stability\u201d are all factors that could lead to a negative rating action for both the UAE and Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There\u2019s also room for improvement:<\/strong> Strengthening governance, reducing oil dependence, and lowered geopolitical risk coupled with a maintenance of strong fiscal and external balance sheets could lead to positive rating actions for the emirate.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/abu-dhabi\/\">Abu Dhabi<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/economy\/\">Economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/fitch-ratings\/\">Fitch Ratings<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/gdp\/\">GDP<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"104942\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"104942\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">REGULATION WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/06\/25\/dfsa-preps-firms-for-client-assets-regime-overhaul\/\">\r\n                            DFSA issues guidance ahead of client assets regime overhaul                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/06\/25\/dfsa-preps-firms-for-client-assets-regime-overhaul\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The updated rules apply to all authorized firms in the Dubai International Financial Center that hold and\/or arrange custody or have a client assets endorsement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REFRESHER-<\/strong> The reforms follow a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/6\/1426.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">consultation paper (pdf)<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/6\/1425.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">feedback statement (pdf)<\/a> published in March. They clarify that fund property \u2014 including crypto and investments held under delegated fund management \u2014 falls outside the scope of the regime.

They\u2019ll also be required to file separate audit reports for client money, client investments, and client crypto tokens, all due within four months of their financial year-end. A report on any non-compliance must be submitted within 30 days, with immediate notification required for breaches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Due diligence rules sharpened:<\/strong> The FAQ confirms that monthly reconciliations of client assets remain mandatory and outlines strengthened due diligence expectations for third-party agents (TPA).

href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/6\/1434.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">guidance (pdf)<\/a><\/strong> <strong> on the Mutual <\/strong><strong>Agreement <\/strong><strong>Procedure (MAP)<\/strong>, laying out how taxpayers can seek relief from double taxation under the UAE\u2019s network of more than 100 double tax treaties, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wam.ae\/en\/article\/bkck33c-ministry-finance-publishes-mutual-agreement\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Wam<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Uh, Enterprise, what\u2019s MAP? <\/strong>The MAP process allows taxpayers facing taxation that breaches a tax treaty \u2014 think dual residency conflicts, transfer pricing adjustments, or permanent establishment issues \u2014 to request relief through negotiations between the UAE and the foreign tax authority involved. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s required: <\/strong>The guidance outlines a comprehensive list of supporting documents taxpayers must submit, including tax assessments, treaty article interpretations, transfer pricing documentation, and proof of tax residency. Claims must typically be filed within three years of when the taxpayer becomes aware that double taxation may arise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Who\u2019s covered: <\/strong>MAP access is allowed even in multilateral disputes and in cases involving self-initiated adjustments, provided they\u2019re made in good faith and backed by economic analysis. But if a final ruling is issued by a UAE court or the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee, the UAE Competent Authority is bound by it. In such cases, only the foreign tax authority may be able to grant relief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019ve submitted a claim, now what?<\/strong> The UAE Competent Authority, separate from the Federal Tax Authority, aims to resolve cases within 24 months, in line with OECD best practices. Taxpayers are expected to respond to any additional information requests within one month, or risk their claim being dropped. Where available, arbitration may be triggered if no agreement is reached.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/finance-ministry\/\">Finance Ministry<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/tax\/\">tax<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"104947\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"104947\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ENERGY<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/06\/25\/azizi-group-launches-energy-arm-with-focus-on-afghanistan\/\">\r\n                            Azizi Group launches energy arm, with focus on Afghanistan                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/06\/25\/azizi-group-launches-energy-arm-with-focus-on-afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
