UAE banks are expected to achieve net income growth between 7-8% annually in <\/strong>2024 <\/strong>and 2025<\/strong>, on the back of robust borrowing demand from businesses, Al<\/a>Bayan<\/a> reports, citing a Bloomberg Intelligence report. Loans from local lenders are projected to grow 11% in 2024, and at least 9% in 2025, underpinned by active project pipelines across the country.<\/p>\n

A healthy pipeline: <\/strong>The UAE has approximately USD 358 bn in projects underway over the next five years, fueling an anticipated 6-8% annual wholesale loan growth. Major initiatives include Etihad Rail, metro developments<\/a>, and water infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

Large-scale real estate developments in Dubai make up a bulk of this pipeline<\/strong>, with developers preparing to deliver 182k units<\/a> between 2025 and 2026. This growth comes on the back of rising home prices in the emirate, which increased 19.9% y-o-y<\/a> in 3Q 2024 due to high demand and limited supply. Meanwhile, Knight Frank projects an additional 8%<\/a> rise in real estate prices in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
