Our core views regarding the UAE remain the same. While we have become more bearish in our estimates, we still maintain that the fundamental driver of growth will be Abu Dhabi. We also believe there are opportunities for continued growth in water, power and large industrial construction. South Korean firms have established a strong presence in the UAE and recent moves have ensured that they have strengthened that foothold. * The first tangible steps towards the implementation of the Union Railway freight project were taken with the award of the consultancy contracts. So far the project has not experienced any delays in procurement, a positive sign for its overall planning. * The financial closure for the Shuweihat 3 independent power project (IPP) further reinforces Abu Dhabi's position as a major growth market for utilities. The Japanese sponsors are going to bring the project online in 2014 adding another 1,600MW to Abu Dhabi's power capacity. * Abu Dhabi firmly remains at the forefront of infrastructure developments, with the implementation of the long-term Vision 2030 plan fuelling the growth of the infrastructure sector. * Building materials prices normalised over 2010 as suggested by declining deflation in the construction sector. In BMI's 'Q211 UAE Infrastructure Report' we forecast that industry value will reach AED71.6bn (US$19.48bn) Official annual data for 2009 are yet to be published, but a study from the Abu Dhabi statistics centre found that steel prices in Abu Dhabi witnessed an average decline of 44% and concrete prices fell by 13.5% over 2009. This reinforces our estimates for 2009, which indicate that construction industry value real growth slowed quite abruptly over the same period. The Risk/Reward score in BMI's Middle East Business Environment Ratings for the UAE remains favourable, in spite of the fall in score in the Industry Rewards category following the downgrade in forecasts. On a structural level, the development of the emirates' infrastructure has left a highly positive legacy, having promoted sophisticated local players and a highly competitive base which is ripe for development, a factor that is quantified by very strong scores for the Industry Risks category. However, BMI is wary of the health of the domestic credit market, which is still reeling from the aftershock of Dubai World near collapse, and the economic recovery that is in part predicated on global macroeconomic factors. As such, the UAE is losing points in terms of Country Rewards and Country Risks.
