The United Arab Emirates continues to exhibit steady economic growth, as evidenced by the slight rise in its S&P Global Composite PMI, which increased from 53.3 in May to 53.5 in June 2025. The updated data, released on July 3, 2025, highlights a moderate improvement in the country's private sector activity.
The Composite PMI, a significant indicator of economic health, reflects the region's ongoing resilience amid global economic challenges. The sustained reading above the 50-mark indicates expansion in business activity, suggesting growth across various sectors within the UAE.
Although the increase from May to June might be minor, it underscores a positive market sentiment and continued momentum in business operations, foreshadowing a stable economic environment for the months ahead. As the UAE aims for diversification beyond oil revenues, maintaining an upward trajectory in its Composite PMI holds crucial implications for its economic strategy.
