Good morning, lovely people. <\/strong>We have a packed issue for you this morning, with plenty of tidbits from Dubai AI week, Dubai\u2019s March inflation figures, which show deflation is back on a monthly basis ,and another exit from Gulf Capital. <\/p>\n

WEATHER- <\/strong>It\u2019s getting hotter and hotter\u2026:<\/strong> Temperatures in Dubai will reach 37\u00b0C before cooling a bit to 27\u00b0C in the nighttime. Afternoon highs in Abu Dhabi are a few degrees cooler, reaching 32\u00b0C, while nighttime temperatures will hit a low of 27\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

*** <\/strong><\/p>\n

BUT FIRST- Take our 4.5-day workweek survey: <\/strong>It\u2019s been over three years since the UAE adopted a 4.5-day workweek. Since then, a lot of companies have amended their hours to match those of the public sector \u2014 but how many of you are still on a five-day workweek schedule? Why have some firms stuck to the status quo? And how has the shorter workweek impacted operations for those who have adopted it? <\/p>\n

We\u2019re taking the pulse on the level of adoption of the 4.5-day workweek<\/strong>, and on how employees and employers alike feel about it \u2014 especially now that Dubai has piloted an even shorter 4-day workweek for public sector workers in the summer, and is exploring more flexible working regulations. Take a few minutes to fill out our short survey<\/a>. We\u2019ll be back with the results in a few weeks\u2019 time. <\/p>\n

If you have more to say on the topic<\/strong>, drop us a note at uae@enterpriseAM.<\/a>com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- <\/strong>Gov\u2019t departments to be assessed on AI: <\/strong>The UAE is set to assess all government departments on how they use artificial intelligence, AI and Digital Economy Minister Omar Al Olama said at the Dubai AI Retreat, the National<\/a> reports. Departments will be rated and classified based on the tangible effect of AI on their operations and residents\u2019 quality of life. <\/p>\n

Beware the overregulator: <\/strong>Al Olama outlined a triple threat approach for AI adoption \u2014 innovation, regulation, and acceleration. He said the UAE aims to avoid overregulation, focusing on \u201cnot regulating for the sake of regulation.\u201d \u201cWe don\u2019t want to leverage artificial intelligence just for the sake of AI,\u201d Al Olama said. \u201cWe want to ensure that the application actually improves the quality of life of citizens in the UAE and in Dubai specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALSO FROM AL OLAMA- <\/strong>AI <\/strong>investments in Dubai reached AED 20 bn in <\/strong>2024<\/strong>, the National quoted Al Olama as saying during Dubai AI Week. Al Olama highlighted the outcomes of Dubai\u2019s AI acceleration plan, which included the appointment of 230 AI executives and specialist teams, the launch of six business incubators, and AI empowerment programs benefiting 10k students, Argaam<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

\n

#2- AI might soon have an opinion on your driving skills: <\/strong>Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is testing an AI-powered platform to calculate drivers\u2019 risk scores, Khaleej Times<\/a> reports. The new platform will base its scoring system on accidents, traffic fines, and black points, the RTA\u2019s Mohammed AlMudharreb said. The program is in a trial phase and is not yet available to the public, with the authorities currently using it internally.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong> It evaluates a driver as low, medium or high risk by analyzing their behavior using data inputs from within the RTA system \u2014 which can also later be used by ins. companies to price premiums based on the behavior of drivers, AlMudharreb said.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- AD Ports and Masdar eye debt issuances in latest sign that Gulf issuers remain <\/strong>bullish: <\/strong>Hot on the heels of our friends at Mashreq\u2019s recent USD 500 mn five-year sukuk issuance<\/a>, which attracted USD 2.9 bn in orders, Abu Dhabi\u2019s AD Ports Group and Masdar are planning more issuances in signs that Gulf issuers have not been deterred by global market turmoil, Reuters<\/a> reports. AD Ports is reportedly planning to raise USD 2 bn in a bond sale within the next few weeks, the newswire says, citing sources familiar with the matter, while renewable energy firm Masdar is preparing a USD 1 bn green bond. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is appetite,\u201d <\/strong>Zeina Rizk, co-head of fixed income at Amwal Capital Partners, told Reuters, citing Mashreq\u2019s issuance last week, which was its most heavily subscribed ever. \u201cIn the Middle East, the main concern is oil prices, but both corporates and governments have very strong fundamentals, reserve increase, everything's doing well,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #4- China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has reportedly inked a five-year <\/strong>supply contract agreement with Adnoc for LNG imports<\/strong>, marking the third supply contract Adnoc signed with Chinese buyers over the weekend, two Chinese trading sources told Reuters<\/a>. Under the agreement, CNOOC will uptake 500k metric tons per year as of 2026. <\/p>\n

The agreements come against the backdrop of the US-China tariff war<\/strong>, which is prompting China to secure new sources for its energy supply to replace US imports. US cargoes represented some 5% of China\u2019s LNG imports last year.<\/p>\n

I<\/strong>CYMI-<\/strong> Adnoc signed<\/a> a long-term liquified natural gas (LNG) supply agreement over the weekend with China\u2019s ENN Natural Gas subsidiary, ENN LNG, to provide it with 1 mn metric tons of LNG annually, supplied from its low-carbon Ruwais LNG project. It also inked a five-year agreement with state-owned Zhenhua Oil to receive LNG imports, including a supply of up to 12 cargoes annually, with deliveries benchmarked to the Japan Korea Marker and Brent oil prices. <\/p>\n

\n

#5- <\/strong>Abu <\/strong>Dhabi<\/strong>-based Savvy Automotive is in talks to acquire the UAE opera<\/strong>tions of <\/strong>India's EV ride hailing service <\/strong>BluSmart<\/a><\/strong>, according to a press release<\/a>. The potential acquisition would help Savvy scale up its green and tech-enabled transport solutions across the country. <\/p>\n

\n

#6- Dragon Oil is in discussions with the governments of Egypt, Iraq, and Turkmen<\/strong>istan to begin operating new oil fields within four years<\/strong>, CEO Ali Rashid Al Jarwan told CNBC Arabia (watch, runtime: 6:20<\/a>). This step serves as a part of the company\u2019s strategy to grow its daily production to 300k barrels a day (bbl \/ d) by 2026 and reach 450k bbl\/d by 2029<\/a>.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The company previously said it is eyeing further investments<\/a> in Egypt, after it committed to an investment of USD 500 mn in the country in 2025 for operational and capital expenditures. The firm is also exploring new potential areas<\/a> to ramp up production in Turkmenistan, including acquiring additional offshore concessions, such as Dongolok and Block 20, as well as boosting production in the west of Zhdanov field and Block 19.<\/p>\n

DATA POINT- <\/p>\n

<\/a> The<\/strong> UAE <\/strong>hit AED 5.2 tn in foreign trade in 2024, with a trade surplus reaching <\/strong>AED 492.3<\/strong> bn<\/strong>, state news agency Wam<\/a> reports, citing the World Trade Organization\u2019s latest Global Trade Outlook and Statistics report (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- <\/strong>The report ranked the UAE as the 11th largest global merchandise exporter<\/a> with a 6% y-o-y uptick in exports to reach USD 603 bn. Imports were also up 14% y-o-y to USD 539 bn, while the Emirates contributed 41.4% of the region\u2019s merchandise exports, reinforcing its position as a trade hub. <\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY- <\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>It\u2019s day two of the IMF and World Bank\u2019s <\/strong>spring meetup<\/a><\/strong>, taking place as the global economy grapples with mounting trade tensions and tariff escalations. The six-day <\/a>2025 Spring Meetings of the IMF and World Bank Group<\/a> will bring together policymakers, central bankers, economists, private sector leaders, and others to discuss what the year ahead holds.<\/p>\n

The themes of this year\u2019s meetup are already starting to become clear<\/strong>, as the Trump administration\u2019s aggressive tariff regime continues to shake confidence in the post-WWII trade order, Bloomberg<\/a> writes. With fears of a prolonged trade war mounting, finance chiefs gathering in Washington will be looking for ways to preserve multilateral cooperation \u2014 or at least find workarounds as the US doubles down on bilateralism. Against this backdrop, the relevance of global institutions like the IMF and World Bank in an increasingly fragmented world is once again up for debate.<\/p>\n

Once the go-to forum for synchronized policy responses, the G-20 is now seen by many <\/strong>as drifting into irrelevance<\/strong>, as Washington\u2019s pivot toward unilateral action has further weakened the group\u2019s ability to manage global economic shocks. \u201cThe cost of not having the G-20 is that you won\u2019t have a level of economic policy coordination, and that should be terrifying people,\u201d said Center for Global Development\u2019s VP Clemence Landers. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is set to release its <\/strong>World Economic Outlook (WEO)<\/a><\/strong> for April 2025 today at 5pm UAE time. IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva indicated<\/a> last week the report will feature \u201cnotable markdowns\u201d in growth projections due to rising trade tensions and instability in the trading system.<\/p>\n

#2- The <\/strong>Solana Economic Zone<\/a><\/strong> is happening in Dubai<\/strong>. The two-week event runs until Saturday, 26 April and focuses on blockchain innovation, providing a platform for founders, builders, and investors looking to set up crypto and blockchain businesses in Dubai.<\/p>\n

#3- The <\/strong>Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit<\/a><\/strong> is on until <\/strong>Wednesday<\/strong>, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center. The summit will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and key stakeholders to explore regional opportunities and challenges in electric vehicles technology.<\/p>\n

#4- <\/strong>Dubai AI Week<\/a><\/strong> is happening throughout the week <\/strong>at the Museum of the Future, Area 2071, and the Emirates Towers in Dubai. The week-long event will feature talks, workshops, and showcases from global and local AI leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.<\/p>\n

#5- <\/strong>DOMOTEX Middle East<\/a><\/strong> is starting today and will run until Thursday <\/strong>at the Dubai World Trade Center. The international trade fair will spotlight the latest in carpets, flooring, and textile innovations, drawing regional designers, architects, and suppliers.<\/p>\n

#6- The<\/strong>International Conference on Education Quality (ICEQ)<\/a><\/strong> is also kicking off today and will wrap up on <\/strong>Thursday <\/strong>at the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs Office in Dubai. The event will focus on integrating AI into education governance and institutional innovation across the region.<\/p>\n

#7- <\/strong>GOTECH<\/a><\/strong>2025<\/a><\/strong> kicked off yesterday and will wrap up tomorrow <\/strong>at the Dubai World Trade Center. The event brings together government officials, industry leaders, and technical experts to discuss industry trends, carbon reduction, and energy demand. The event includes technical presentations, sessions, and exhibitions focused on technology and sector challenges.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING THIS WEEK-<\/p>\n

The<\/strong>Dubai AI Festival<\/a><\/strong> is taking place on Wednesday and Thursday as<\/strong> part of Dubai AI Week <\/strong>at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai. The event will include exhibitions, panels, and networking sessions aimed at accelerating AI adoption across sectors.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

The global foreign press is split between two stories this morning:<\/strong> Pope Francis\u2019 death and the latest sell-off on Wall Street. <\/p>\n

Obituaries for Pope Francis, who died at 88 due to a stroke and cardiac arrest a day after Easter Sunday, are pouring in<\/strong>, with many looking at his role in reforming the Catholic Church. Focus is also turning to who will succeed him among his 252 cardinals, Reuters<\/a> reports. Obituaries are everywhere: FT<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | The Independent<\/a> | Washington Post<\/a> <\/p>\n

Also getting plenty of ink this morning:<\/strong> A sell-off hit Wall Street on the first day back from the long weekend after US President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying on his social media platform Truth that he must lower interest rates \u201cNOW\u201d to give the economy a boost. The S&P 500 ended the day down 2.4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 2.6%. The USD also took a beating, falling 1.5% to a three-year low against a basket of major trading partners. (FT<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | CNBC<\/a> | WSJ<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n

ALSO- It\u2019s earnings week: <\/strong>Tesla will today kick off a more tense earnings season than usual for Big Tech as companies grapple with the impact of tariffs on their businesses and margins in their forecasts.
