Building the Future Beyond Oil
The UAE’s economy was historically built on oil, particularly in Abu Dhabi, which holds the majority of the country’s reserves. Oil exports remain a key source of government revenue, but the reliance on oil is gradually decreasing.
Today, diversification into sectors such as finance, tourism, aviation, and renewable energy is reshaping the country’s economic future.
