style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Good morning, lovely people. <\/strong>The Ramadan news slowdown has been real, with very few major stories to take note of this morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The biggest one in today\u2019s issue: <\/strong>We look at the potential repercussions of the US\u2019 threat to hike global tariffs to 15%, up from 10%, on the UAE. The consensus among economists? The impact will be limited and will mostly be indirect \u2014 much like the scenario was for the 10% tariff last year. Plus: Expect the UAE to continue to bang the diversification drum with more trade and economic partnership agreements \u2014 also known as Cepas \u2014 and to look towards Asia, Africa, and the rest of the GCC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ALSO: <\/strong>New data out on Dubai\u2019s office market in 2025 show that prices and rents continued to climb by double digits, as supply remained scarce and demand continued to rise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WEATHER- <\/strong><strong>Temperatures are rising once again<\/strong>, peaking at 31\u00b0C in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Dubai will see an overnight low of 19\u00b0C, and the capital will see a low of 17\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Watch this space <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a> <strong>INVESTMENT<\/strong><strong> \u2014 Abu Dhabi to build \u201c<\/strong><strong>Dubai of Africa\u201d in <\/strong><strong>Western Sahara<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> The UAE is set to develop a part of Western Sahara\u2019s southernmost Atlantic coastal strip into a tourist destination, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rue20.com\/980356.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Moroccan local media<\/a>.

It will be billed as the \u201cDubai of Africa\u201d and comes as Morocco is developing the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/11\/19\/today-flydubai-etihad-bag-mega-airbus-orders-for-182-jets\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 1 bn Dakhla Port<\/a>, also in the Western Sahara region, which it aims to serve as a gateway to the Atlantic for Sahel countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Who\u2019s involved? <\/strong>Both Abu Dhabi and Rabat will work on the project under an investment partnership framework.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>The US\u2019 threat to raise its global baseline tariff from 10% to <\/strong><strong>15% is being viewed in the<\/strong><strong> UAE less as a shock and more as a catalyst for faster strategic diversification<\/strong>, Amjad Naser, banking and finance consultant and investment and trade strategy advisor, tells EnterpriseAM. The shift could accelerate a move toward \u201cAsia, Africa and intra-GCC trade, which is already taking place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Cepa shield:<\/strong> Economist and Khalij Economics Director Justin Alexander agrees, with both him and Naser expecting the UAE to rely more heavily on its comprehensive economic partnership agreements (Cepas) to strengthen its role in global value chains and mitigate the impact of trade uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This 5% hike is also being dismissed by some as another instance of \u201cTACO\u201d<\/strong> (Trump Always Chickens Out), as MENA economist Hamzeh Al Gaaod tells us. The term refers to a pattern of aggressive tariff threats that are later walked back or delayed in response to market pressure. Al Gaaod noted that US firms are already pursuing litigation against their own government. And with the US Supreme Court <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/feb\/20\/trump-supreme-court-tariffs-ruling\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">discrediting<\/a> some of Trump\u2019s tariffs last year as illegal and the EU threatening to pull out of trade agreements, the 15% tariff may run out of steam before it fundamentally reshapes global trade flows, he added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cThe UAE is structurally positioned as a logistics, re-export, and value-added hub rather than a traditional export-driven manufacturing economy<\/strong>,\u201d Naser said. On the other hand, some US companies could seek to establish manufacturing bases in the UAE \u201cnot necessarily to bypass tariffs, but to diversify production bases and access alternative growth markets,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Besides, the current state of play is unclear. <\/strong>We don\u2019t know if the tariffs the US will collect \u2014 supposedly today \u2014 will be at the 10% or 15% rate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s also not the first threat we\u2019ve gotten: <\/strong>The US <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/01\/14\/this-morning-uae-is-evaluating-impacts-of-a-potential-25-tariff-from-the-us-canada-trade-talks-are-set-to-begin-next-month\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">threatened earlier this year<\/a> to impose a 25% tariff on Iran\u2019s business partners, which would have hit the UAE particularly hard, though there seems to have been no follow-through on that yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Just like last year, the bigger impact could be indirect. <\/strong>The UAE\u2019s direct export exposure to the tariff increase appears limited, Alexander tells us, with the main risks likely to be indirect. \u201cUncertainty in trade policy could harm the global economy in ways that reduce oil demand; higher inflation in the US from tariffs could keep interest rates in the UAE higher for longer; [and] a decline in US asset prices would also hurt UAE holdings in the US and reverberate more widely,\u201d he said.<\/p>\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\/economy\/\">Economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/the-big-story-today\/\">THE BIG STORY TODAY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/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=\"113287 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"113287\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/02\/24\/113287\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-113287\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-113287 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mashreq.com\/en\/uae\/private\/become-a-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/741.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"113288\" 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=\"113288\">\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\">REAL ESTATE<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/02\/24\/dubais-office-rents-sale-prices-climbed-in-2025-amid-ongoing-supply-crunch\/\">\r\n                            Dubai\u2019s office market is as tight as ever                        <\/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\/2026\/02\/24\/dubais-office-rents-sale-prices-climbed-in-2025-amid-ongoing-supply-crunch\/\" 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();

Back in 2021, tech giants self-funded roughly 80% of their data center development using their strong balance sheets. Now, however, 60% of developments involve third-party institutional capital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To unlock these massive pools of capital, developers are rushing to secure <\/strong><strong>investment-grade stamps of approval <\/strong>from agencies like S&P, Moody\u2019s, Fitch, and KBRA. \u201cIt\u2019s astronomical growth,\u201d Fitch\u2019s Roelof Steenekamp told the salmon-colored paper. Fitch alone evaluated over 35 private data center agreements in just nine months, averaging USD 3 bn per transaction, with the vast majority being newly constructed, hyperscaler-backed facilities. Moody\u2019s and Fitch have also privately assigned investment-grade ratings to tens of bns of USD in loans tied to projects backed by Oracle Corporation. KBRA currently rates nearly USD 100 bn in data center debt and expects the figure to rise to up to USD 150 bn by mid-year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Lenders are utilizing \u201ccredit tenant lease financing<\/strong>,\u201d which essentially caps the project\u2019s credit risk at the rating of its anchor tenant. For instance, S&P handed an A+ rating to USD 27 bn in debt for Meta\u2019s Hyperion data center in Louisiana. To get the agreement done, Meta provided financial assurance, promising to begin paying rent even if construction is delayed, while also agreeing to cover any budget overruns. In many cases, lenders are underwriting the hyperscaler\u2019s balance sheet more than the developer\u2019s, according to S&P\u2019s Dhaval Shah.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Still, the structure carries risks.<\/strong> Unlike traditional cloud data centers, AI-training facilities are often built in remote locations and can strand assets if a tenant leaves. Furthermore, the AI economy relies heavily on circular financing \u2014 hyperscalers fund startups that simply use the money to buy tech directly back from them. With rising costs and lagging end-user revenues, economists warn this fragile loop could trigger a massive industry-wide debt crisis, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/2\/1401.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">report (pdf)<\/a> from the Center for Public Enterprise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The sheer size and opacity of these financing vehicles are beginning to attract <\/strong><strong>Washington\u2019s attention.<\/strong> Recently, lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have formally urged the Financial Stability Oversight Council to probe the \u201ccomplex and opaque\u201d structures funding data centers, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-01-22\/bessent-urged-by-warren-to-probe-opaque-data-center-financings\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports.
