Donald Trump signaling the war will end \u201cvery soon,\u201d and the Emirates seeing the volume of attacks slow down, the country yesterday took a hefty hit after Iran struck Adnoc\u2019s main oil refinery, halting operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>In other not-so-good news, Oxford Economics is the latest to shave off a few percentage points from our economic growth forecast<\/strong> due to its exposure to ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and an expected hit to tourism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>We still have some bright spots to cover<\/strong>, with the DFM and ADX closing in the green yesterday for the first time since the war began, and DP World and AD Ports setting up land bridges to bypass the ongoing disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Other players are also showing optimism<\/strong>, with Azizi Developments set to invest AED 75 bn in developing hotels (primarily in Dubai), Adia doubling down on follow-on investments, and ICICI Prudential Asset Management opening its new DIFC office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>PLUS- Fitch Solutions\u2019 BMI sees the government stepping in to prop up the retail sector <\/strong>should consumer confidence take a hit and tourism inflows decline, as is expected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a> <strong>UAE<\/strong><strong> markets closed in the green yesterday for the first time since the<\/strong><strong> start of the war<\/strong>, with the DFM rising nearly 2% and the ADX gaining 1.4%. This comes after a rocky start to trading for both indices after a two-day suspension last week to ease the impact of the war, which saw the DFM lose more than 11% from its last close before the war, and the ADX fall around 5.7%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>\u201cWe believe that the market may be reassessing the risk premium<\/strong><strong> assigned to the [banking sector], leading to the recent correction<\/strong>,\u201d Chiro Ghosh, head of research at Sico, tells EnterpriseAM. He cautioned that an increase in delinquencies could emerge in segments tied to real estate, tourism, and hospitality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Real estate stocks continued to weigh on the ADX with a 3.5% decline<\/strong>, but utilities (+4.51%), healthcare (+3.12%), and technology (+2.97%) helped drive gains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Dubai\u2019s<\/strong><strong> rally was driven primarily by financials<\/strong> <strong>(+5.60%)<\/strong> and consumer discretionary (+5.64%), while real estate (-2.29%) remained under pressure. Emaar is now down 22.7% for the month and 9.3% YTD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Watch this space<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><a id=\"wwtt2\"><\/a> <strong>TOURISM <\/strong><strong>\u2014 The UAE is among the MENA<\/strong><strong> countries most exposed to a hit to <\/strong><strong>its tourism sector from the regional war<\/strong>, with Dubai especially vulnerable due to its proximity to Iran and reliance on international visitors, according to Capital Economics\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/3\/573.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MENA Economics Update (pdf)<\/a>. History shows that crises can wipe out 30-40% of arrivals, sometimes more, and recovery often takes years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>Tourism is a top contributor to the Emirates\u2019 economy, bringing in <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/03\/04\/uaes-tourisms-usd-70-bn-boom-hit-as-middle-east-conflict-sparks-cancellations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AED 257.3 bn in 9M 2025<\/a>, or about 13% of output.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Some comfort comes from intra-GCC travel<\/strong>, which makes up 27% of Gulf tourism and could help cushion declines.

In response, authorities issued 449 warnings and imposed AED 207.3k in financial penalties on traders, suppliers, and retail outlets found in breach of consumer protection laws.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>To mitigate <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/03\/10\/could-hormuzs-closure-disrupt-the-uaes-food-supply\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supply chain risks<\/a><\/strong>, the ministry said it is using its international network of trade partners to secure essential imports and pivot to alternative markets, if needed. Consumers are urged to avoid hoarding and report excessive pricing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Inflation watch<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The UAE\u2019s annual headline inflation climbed to 1.61% in November 2025<\/strong>, up from the 1.23% recorded during the same month last year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/3\/565.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data (pdf)<\/a> from the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Center. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) hit 110.50 points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Data breakdown:<\/strong> On a y-o-y basis, it was almost a broad-based growth with housing, water, and electricity leading the surge with 3.98%. Recreation and culture followed, jumping 3.51%, while household supplies rose 2.90%, and ins. and financial services went up 2.87%. Transportation (-1.42%) and textiles and clothing (-5.10%) were the only sectors that cooled down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>On a monthly basis:<\/strong> While the headline figure reflects a y-o-y increase, the monthly trend in November showed a slight deflationary cooling of 0.19% compared to October, primarily driven by a 2.57% drop in transportation costs and a 2.31% dip in clothing and footwear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Oil watch<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Following<\/strong><strong> Monday\u2019s drop, <\/strong><strong>oil prices eased further yesterday <\/strong>after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/energy-oil\/iea-proposes-largest-ever-oil-release-from-strategic-reserves-275f4e5c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported that the International Energy Agency is considering releasing more than 182 mn barrels of oil to curb the surge in prices seen since the outbreak of the US-Israel-Iran war. A decision on the motion is anticipated today. The plan requires unanimous approval for immediate adoption, otherwise the process could be stalled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Prices fell on the news<\/strong>, with Brent futures dropping 0.26% to USD 87.57 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate dipping 0.44% to USD 83.08.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>This could be a double-edged sword for the UAE. <\/strong>By introducing artificial supply to the market, the IEA reduces the global sense of urgency, discouraging buyers from pursuing expensive Gulf oil during the war. At the same time, stable oil prices protect the long-term viability of the UAE\u2019s broader economy, a big pillar of which is oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Data point<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>AED 73.2 bn \u2014 that was the value of residential sales in Abu Dhabi last year<\/strong>, after 22.4k homes changed hands, up 55% y-o-y, making 2025 the capital\u2019s busiest year on record, according to Cavendish Maxwell\u2019s latest <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/3\/552.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">market report (pdf)<\/a>.

The agency is explicit that this will help largely mitigate short-term risks to retail. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Direct subsidies could be on the table:<\/strong> Any inflationary risks \u2014 which are possible due to rising shipping costs, delayed transport, and risk surcharges \u2014 will \u201clikely be mitigated by intervention from the UAE government, which has substantial fiscal capacity to provide direct support to businesses and subsidize essential goods and services,\u201d BMI says. How far they will go will depend on the duration and severity of the conflict, it added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u2026as could be more incentives for expats: <\/strong>One of the biggest concerns for the retail sector is a softening of expat inflows due to the tarnishing of the UAE\u2019s \u201csafe-haven\u201d appeal. But BMI expects policymakers to lean harder on the same toolkit used before \u2014 more visa liberalization, visible security spending, and lifestyle incentives to keep expat inflows steady. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Still, lower tourism footfall will be an issue: <\/strong>The UAE could lose around 5.9 mn tourists at the lower end of a projected 20-45% decline in footfall this year, and up to 13.3 mn at the higher end, potentially costing the economy mns of USD in lost tourist inflows \u2014 particularly impacting the luxury sector, which has been booming in recent years. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Our take <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The initial consumer pullback and disruptions across stores \u2014 both physical and e-commerce \u2014 are hardly felt if you go for a stroll through the mall.<\/strong> Yes, some luxury stores temporarily shut and staffing thinned in the first days of strikes, but malls are near full capacity once again, Amazon operations have largely normalized, and the feared retail freeze has so far looked more like a brief interruption than a lasting pullback. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The trouble comes if shipping disruptions persist. <\/strong>While airspace disruptions have let up a bit, with airlines gradually bringing scheduled flights back, it\u2019s still not at full capacity, and a prolonged war would mean significant delays in shipments and higher surcharges that are bound to be passed on to consumers. <\/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

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>Our friends at Sidara have completed their takeover of Wood Group \u2014 a rare take-private <\/strong><strong>of a UK public company by a privately-held UAE firm.<\/strong> The Dubai-headquartered planning, design, engineering, and project management giant closed its acquisition of Aberdeen-based John Wood Group for c.GBP 210 mn, after a nearly two-year pursuit. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>By the numbers: <\/strong>The transaction makes Sidara one of the world\u2019s largest privately held engineering and consulting businesses, with a combined workforce north of 55k professionals and revenues north of USD 8.5 bn \u2014 split as roughly 40% from North America and 20% from each of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> The transaction gives Sidara a serious upgrade in energy and materials capabilities at a moment when Gulf states \u2014 Saudi Arabia in particular \u2014 are pouring capital into energy infrastructure, industrial buildouts, and decarbonization. Wood\u2019s technical depth there makes it a strategic prize. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s not every day that a private company swallows a publicly listed one<\/strong>, rather than the other way around. Sidara Chairman and CEO Talal Shair called it \u201cwithout a doubt the most ambitious venture in the history of Sidara, driving forward a long-term critical strategy of expanding and elevating our energy offering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>Wood will retain its brand and operate as a standalone business within Sidara<\/strong> alongside Dar, Perkins &amp; Will, TYLin, and Currie &amp; Brown. Hat tip to our friend <strong>Nader Aboushadi<\/strong> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nader-aboushadi\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>), Sidara\u2019s group chief treasurer, who was instrumental in putting together the transaction and leading it to a close.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The IMF is sounding the alarm on a potential o<\/strong><strong>il-led inflation spike<\/strong>, with the Fund's Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warning on Monday that a sustained 10% increase in oil prices throughout the year would result in a 40 bps rise in global inflation, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/imfs-georgieva-warns-middle-east-conflict-could-push-global-inflation-higher-2026-03-09\/\" style=\"\">Reuters<\/a> reports. \u201cWe are seeing resilience tested again by the new conflict in the Middle East,\u201d Georgieva said, urging policymakers to \u201cthink of the unthinkable and prepare for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Oxford Economics also sees global inflation rising by 0.3-0.4% in 4Q 2026, ac<\/strong><strong>companied by a 0.1 percentage point dip in global growth.<\/strong> While energy price trajectories remain volatile, Oxford Economics anticipates that Brent crude will average USD 79 \/ bbl in 2Q 2026 \u2014 a USD 15 upward revision from February estimates \u2014 before potentially retreating as supply conditions normalize, according to a report seen by EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The most exposed regions: The UK and the Eurozone, due to their exposure to gas prices.<\/strong> The agency sees rising energy prices pushing UK inflation up by 0.5 percentage points in 4Q compared to previous forecasts. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s the prognosis on rate cuts? <\/strong>The Bank of England will likely avoid cutting interest rates at its March meeting \u2014 or beyond if energy prices remain elevated for long \u2014 though rate cuts could resume in April or June if energy prices retreat quickly. In the Eurozone, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to maintain interest rates at 2% throughout the year. The ECB might raise rates by 25-50 bps if the energy shock persists. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As for the US Federal Reserve<\/strong>, Oxford Economics\u2019 forecasts remain unchanged, pointing toward potential interest rate cuts of 25 bps in June and September, given the energy shock is less likely to impact inflation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">It\u2019s another morning with Asia-Pacific markets opening in the green as oil prices dipped further on hopes that the International Energy Agency will release its largest-ever stock to keep prices under control.
