    Message of Greeting

    Economic relations between Germany and the Arab countries go back many years. Today in a world where competition is increasingly global the Made in Germany label has established its reputation in the Arab world for reliability, top quality and customer orientation. German companies, SMEs and Dax-listed companies alike, are successful on the Arab market. They make a significant contribution to economic development in the Arab world and can offer solutions to some of the challenges the region is faced with. They have a great deal of expertise in areas such as building infrastructure, training and employing young people, technological knowledge transfer and expanding the health system.

    It is particularly encouraging to see that our Arab-German economic relations are increasingly based on mutual investment. Arab investors are welcome partners for Germany. They have had very positive experience becoming stakeholders in large German corporations, for instance. When it comes to co-operation with small and medium-sized enterprises, however, there still remains a lot of untapped potential, with tremendous opportunities for both sides.

    To build up even stronger economic co-operation, it is vital for German and Arab business partners to share experience and ideas. The Arab-German Business Directory 2013/2014 seeks to facilitate this exchange. It allows Arab and German companies to find out about interesting regions and potential business partners and start networking.

    I wish all the readers of the Arab-German Business Directory every success in developing and expanding their business relations with German and Arab partner companies.

    Sincerely yours,

    Dr. Philipp Rsler German Minister of Economics and Technology

    Preface

    Der Members and Friends of Ghorfa,

    2012 was a great year for Arab-German business relations. The total trade volume between Germany and the Arab World has increased by more than 18% compared to 2011 and reached EUR 49bn.

    We are very pleased about the expanding business, and most importantly, the con-tinuous development of Arab-German cooperation in the recent years. The growing number of members within the Ghorfa network reflects the intensification of Arab-German business relations based on mutual trust and respect. During the past year, many Arab and German companies as well as organizations have decided to start to cooperate and to work closely with us. We are grateful for this development, which shows their solid interest in the opportunities that Ghorfa and its network represent, and inspires us every day in our work.

    To further support and foster Arab-German cooperation, we are pleased to present the Ghorfa Business Directory 2013/2014 with an overview of the growing number of enterprises that are already actively involved. After the successful editions of the last six years, we are confident enough to say that the Business Directory (previously called Trade Directory) has become the who is who for Arab-German business relations.

    For almost 40 years, the Ghorfa has been actively promoting and strengthening business ties between Germany and the Arab World. We therefore organize numerous networking events with high-ranking participants from the world of business and politics through-out the year; support our members with various services, and provide information about important economic and industrial developments.

    Our most prestigious forum is the Arab-German Business Forum, held in Berlin that unites up to 600 participants every year. This year, it will take place from June 12th14th, 2013. Further conferences focus on health, energy, tourism, and education. Moreover, there are events that relate to a specific country, such as the Business & Investment in Qatar Forum, the Iraqi-German Business Forum or the UAE Investment & Business Forum.

    We are particularly happy to host the Arab Women Leaders Forum in October 2013, which will take place for the first time in Germany.

    Based on traditionally strong business ties between Germany and the Arab World, we are convinced that there still is an impressive potential for new business opportunities on both sides. For these reasons, we sincerely hope that the 6th edition of the Arab-German Business Directory will serve as an inspiration and provide companies with many valuable information and new contacts.

    We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members and cooperation part-ners for their invaluable contribution to achieve our common goal of strengthening Arab-German cooperation and of growing the Ghorfa network.

    We wish you good luck and success for all your endeavours and we are looking forward to welcoming you soon at one of our events.

    Ghorfa Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry

    About us

    The Ghorfa Arab-German Chamber of Com-merce and Industry is the competence centre for business relations between Germany and the Arab world. It was founded in 1976 and since 1 August 2000, it is located in Berlin. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board equally consist of German and Arab members. This guarantees balance and mutual trust. Not only major German and Arab enterprises are among our members, numerous small and medium-sized enterprises complete our top-class network.

    Building Bridges between Germany and the Arab World

    Our network

    The Ghorfa operates under the umbrella of the General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for Arab Countries and is the official representative of all Arab Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Germany. Our chamber works closely with the Arab embassies in Germany, the Arab League and related governmental bodies in the Arab states. It is part of the worldwide organisation of Arab foreign Chambers of Commerce and Industry. The Ghorfa cooperates with German governmental bodies on federal and regional level and the most important German indus-trial associations.

    What we do

    We actively promote and strengthen business relationships among our members and within the wider Arab and German business commu-nity. We pave the way for stronger business co-operation in the fields of trade, industry, fi-nance and investment between Arab and German business partners. Strategic partner-ships based on mutual benefit and under-standing create new business opportunities to facilitate economic benefits for both sides. We therefore mainly focus on networking, com-munication and on providing information about relevant economic and industrial devel-opments.

  • Algeria Country Profile 16

    Algeria is the largest African country, located in the north of the continent, on the south-ern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bor-dered by Libya and Tunis in the east and Ma-rocco in the west as well as by Mali and Niger in the south.

    Political System, Society and History

    Algeria is a presidential republic that achieved independence from France in 1962 after more than a hundred and thirty years of occupa-tion. After the independence, it was ruled by the National Liberation Front (FLN) until 1988, the year in which a multi-party system was in-stituted. After a bloody civil war of seven years, Abdelaziz Bouteflika won the presiden-cy in 1999 and started a policy of national rec-onciliation and social and economic reforms. He was re-elected in 2004 and 2009.

    In the beginning of 2011, there were social and political protest movements which were en-couraged by the Arab Spring in several Arab countries. The protests coincided with a sud-den sharp jump in the basic product prices, such as cereals, bread, fruit, vegetables, sugar, and oil. The Algerian government reacted to

    these protests by taking several political and social measures. For example, taxes were cut and subsidies on key food products were in-creased. On 22 February 2011, the state of emergency that had been in place since Febru-ary 1992 was lifted.

    In the parliamentary elections in May 2012 the ruling FLN won 220 out of 463 seats, fol-lowed by its ally the National Democratic Ral-ly with 68 seats and the Islamist Alliance with 48 seats. In September 2012, a new govern-ment was formed under former Minister for Water Resources Abdelmalek Sellal as prime minister. Municipal and provincial elections in November 2012 also saw a shift from Is-lamist parties toward the FLN. The next pres-idential elections will be held in 2014.

    Economic Development

    Algeria is a resource-rich country with a com-fortable financial situation which it only starting to take advantage of its assets. This means that great growth and investment pos-sibilities lie ahead. The GDP was about US$ 207.8bn in 2012 and is expected to reach US$ 210.5bn in 2013. The GDP growth rates for both years amounted to 2.5% in 2012 and 3.3% in

    2013. Since 2001, the country has undertaken efforts to liberalize and modernize the econo-my by five-year plans. The current plan for the period 20102014 foresees an investment of US$ 130bn in the completion of previous proj-ects and of US$ 156bn in new projects. 40% of the funds were dedicated to social projects, like hospitals and schools and another 40% were dedicated to the development of infra-structure. The economy relies on hydrocar-bons, but the government pursues the goal of diversification, especially to reach an indus-try share in the economy of 10% by 2014. In-flation amounted to 5.2% in 2011, 9% in 2012 and 5% in 2013. Algeria has the lowest foreign debt within the MENA group and foreign cur-rency reserves amounting to US$ 190.66bn according to the Bank of Algeria. As a member of the Group of Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs and Development (G-24), Al-geria contributed US$ 5bn to the 2013 budget of the IMF.

    Inefficient bureaucracy and difficult access to financing are the largest problems for doing business in Algeria. Reforms are underway to improve the country s position in the World Bank s Doing Business Report. Also, to pro-mote investment and attract foreign compa-nies, an inter-ministerial committee was put

    AlgeriA

  • Algeria Country Profile 17

    in place in March 2013 to improve the invest-ment climate and legislation. The committee s work program has two phases. Phase one con-sists of short-term actions that do not require legislative procedures however having imme-diate effects. Phase one will be followed by a report to the World Bank. First steps have al-ready been taken, like the acceleration of im-port procedures and the acquisition of land. Phase two will see the development of an ac-tion plan for the period June 2013 to June 2014.

    The Algerian proven crude oil reserves are at 12.2bn barrels and the proven natural gas re-serves at 4.5bn m. Hence, Algeria is the fourth-largest gas exporter and has the 8th largest natural gas reserves in the world. The oil and gas sector accounts for about half of the gov-ernment revenues, over a third of GDP, and al-most all export earnings and foreign currency inflow. The dominant position of the hydrocar-bons sector makes the Algerian economy high-ly sensitive to fluctuations in international oil prices and in output. With an estimated 6.4 bn barrels of proven oil reserves, Hassi Messaoud is Algerias largest oilfield, producing more than 400,000 b/d. The total crude oil produc-tion is at 1.5 million b/d according to the U.S. En-ergy Information Administration (EIA). Gas fields discovered in the regions of Illizi, Gour-

    ara, Tuat, and the Ahnet Basin and their devel-opment may increase the countrys export ca-pacity to 85 million m per year by 2013. Also, a new hydrocarbons law was issued, allowing for fracking. The country s non-conventional gas reserves are estimated at 600 bn m. In 2011, Sonatrach drilled its first shale gas wells in the basin of Ahnet, south of In Salah.

    The public national oil company Sonatrach (Socit nationale pour la recherch, la produc-tion, le transport, la transformation et la com-mercialisation des hydrocarbures) operates a network of over 16,000 km of pipelines. Repre-senting more than 60% of the US$ 45bn invest-ment plan due to be implemented by Sonatrach from 20102012, projects have been launched for processing of raw hydrocarbons, refining, gas liquefaction, and petrochemicals. Between 2013 and 2017, US$60bn have been dedicated to the construction of new pipelines of which US$ 25bn will be used for gas pipelines between 2013 and 2015. The refinery capacity reached 450,000 barrels per day in 2012 and will be in-creased over the next years. Five new refineries will be built in the north until 2017.

    The construction sector is the fastest growing sector in the Algerian economy and employs 18% of the Algerian labor force. The Algerian government has set up ambitious goals for the development of infrastructure. These include roads, railways, airports, ports, houses, dams and medical facilities. An important mega-project is the Grand Mosque in Algiers that is currently under construction. It will be the third largest mosque in the world and accom-modate 120,000 worshippers.

    Large investment in the housing sector is also taking place. From 2005 to 2012, more than 1.5 million housing units have been completed. In 2012 alone 199,179 houses or apartments were delivered. Since 2008 the total number amounted to around 200,000 aiming at help-ing solve the very tight housing problem in Al-geria. One prestige project is a new urban neighborhood that is planned in Algiers. The project has a worth of US$ 5bn and will include high-end houses, hotels, a shopping mall and parks. Tenders have been delayed several times.

    The government is planning to invest over US$ 30bn into its transport infrastructure un-til 2014. In the road sector, a directory scheme

    (Schma Directeur Routier et Autoroutier, SDRA) was developed for the period from 2005 to 2025, in four periods of five years each, corresponding to the plan periods. Quantitative objectives in the current 20102014 period are to build 2,915 km of roads, 715 km of highways and another 163 projects. Roads include 1,300 km in the south which will open the country toward Africa, 700 km in the plateau region and 193 km to bypass the large cities in addition to reinforcing 7,800 km of roads and the modernization of the coastal roads. Projects are for example via-ducts in Constantine, Algiers and Mila as well as the enlargement of a bridge in Annaba.

    Besides the already announced 643 km of new railways, another 1,260 km in the south have been integrated in the 2013 supplementary budget. The aim is to complete the construc-tion and electrification by 2015. In the next ten years, Algeria plans the construction of over 200 tramlines in 14 cities with a budget of about US$ 6bn. Currently under construc-tion or planning are lines in the east of Al-giers, Constantine, Oran, Mostaganem in the north and Ouargla in the south. After several delays, the first segment of Algiers tram net-work began operating in May 2011.

    Airports and ports are also subject of ambi-tious investment plans for the modernization and development of existing structures. The five-year plan 2010 to 2014 includes 34 proj-ects, covering runways, buildings and airport related infrastructure, like parking lots. Alge-ria has 45 ports in service and 95% of the country s foreign trade goes through ports.

    The 20102014 five-year plan schedules US$ 6.2bn to be spent on the health sector. 172 new hospitals, 45 health centers and 70 establish-ments for handicapped people will be built. In the 2013 budget, US$ 3.8bn were dedicated to the sector, of which US$ 1,17bn are intended only for investments. Algeria is also planning to develop its health tourism. To this end, US$ 138 million were dedicated to the renovation and modernization of ten thermal stations in different parts of the country. Ten new sta-tions have been opened and thirty others are planned to be built. This is aimed at attracting more international tourists.

    Algeria s electricity demand is growing by 7% every year. Blackouts in the summer are very common. Therefore, a decision on a capacity expansion of 12,000 MW until 2017 was taken. In 2012, electricity production was increased

    by 20% to prevent blackouts in the summer. The government-owned company for electric-ity and gas, Sonelgaz, declared the construc-tion and completion of eight new power plants by 2018. Furthermore, Sonelgaz plans to invest US$ 25.2bn into the expansion of the electricity network until 2020. 10,000 km of new power lines will be put in place. In 2011,

    Algeria has developed a programme for the development of renewable energies and ener-gy efficiency. It stipulates that until 2030, Al-geria will create capacity to produce 22,000 MW from renewables, of which 10,000 MW will be exported. Hence, by 2030, 40% of Algeria s energy will stem from renewable sources, of which 37% from solar heat and photovoltaics and 3% from wind energy.

    Environment and water goals are also part of the 20102014 five-year plan. A set of projects called Blanche Algerie and consisting of 6,500 projects was launched early 2013. These projects target the creation of micro-enter-prises in the fields of environment and clean-ing of public space. The aim is to create 52,000 new jobs of which 500 will be high-skill posi-tions for university graduates. 17,400 similar projects have already started across the coun-try and led to the creation of 70,000 jobs. Un-til 2016, 32 new dams with a total capacity of 9bn m will be built. Desalination plants and tapping ground water are also on the agenda.

    Diversification is essential for Algeria s devel-opment and job creation. Therefore, the gov-ernment has developed an ambitious strategy to develop the industry. This includes incen-tives for nationals to create companies, better access to land and facilitation of bureaucratic procedures which will benefit national and in-ternational companies and preferential treat-ment for international companies that estab-lish joint-ventures in Algeria. The latter is the case for Renault that is building a factory near Oran in the west and will benefit exclusivity

    for three years after the opening of the facto-ry. This Renault Algeria Production (RAP) will create 350 jobs and produce an initial output of 25,000 cars per day in a first phase starting in November 2014. Automotive being one of the focus sectors, partnership agreements have also been signed with Daimler on three factories: one in Rouiba will produce trucks, buses and mini-buses, the second in Tiaret will produce all-terrain and light vehicles and the third in Constantine is to produce mo-tors for heavy engines. Around these industri-al complexes, the creation of PME producing parts is foreseen and will be encouraged. Progress in attracting foreign investment is also seen in other areas. The Bellara steel fac-tory will be built as a joint venture between Sider Co, the National Investment Fund hold-ing 51% for the Algerian side and Qatar Steel and Qatar mining holding 49% for the Qatari side. It will produce and trade 4 million tonnes of steel per year from 2017. Investment in the petrochemical industry is progressing too, as several fertilizer factories will be built as joint-ventures worth US$ 5.5bn. The encour-agement of pharmaceutical production is aiming at substituting imports.

    Economic Outlook

    Algeria is undertaking various reforms to shift the economy toward a more market ori-ented and diversified one. Although the hy-drocarbons sector will remain the countrys backbone in the medium term, industrializa-tion and job creation outside the oil and gas sectors are on the agenda. Improving the in-vestment climate therefore is on top of the government s agenda. This will lead to im-proving Algeria s position in the World Bank Doing Business Report where it is 152nd among 185 countries. To this end, a committee was es-tablished to dismantle hurdles to investment, and first results were already delivered. For many years, investment in the infrastructure will drive growth too and absorb much of the oil income. Especially housing, transport and energy will witness large scale investment.

    The Algerian Chamber of Commerce and In-dustry contributes to the economic develop-ment in Algeria by joining the efforts of the lo-cal chambers in promoting business activities through assisting private companies, deliver-ing useful information and lobbying for busi-ness interests with the government.

    German-Algerian Business Relations

    Due to its vast hydrocarbon resources and its constant need for machinery and investment goods, Algeria is an important trading partner for Germany among the Arab countries. Ger-man imports from Algeria were valued at EUR 1.81bn in 2012. In general terms, Algerians hold German products in high regard. The major German export goods include machinery, ve-hicles and electro technical and chemical goods. In 2012, German exports to Algeria amounted to EUR 1.82bn. The economic ties between Germany and Algeria have strength-ened over the last years. Since 2011, a joint eco-nomic commission exists that meets every year and deals with all the aspects of econom-ic relations. Currently, around 220 German companies operate in Algeria occupying 2.000 people. It is a German company that is building the largest factory for the production of solar modules in Africa. And it is also a Ger-man company that is building the first solar tower power plant in North Africa using solar technology from Germany.

  • UAE Country Profile 160

    The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is located on the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula and shares borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman. Occupying a total area of about 83,600 km, the UAE has a coast along the Arabian Gulf as well as along the Gulf of Oman.

    Political System, Society and History

    Unlike all other Arab countries, the United Ar-ab Emirates operates under a federal system consisting of seven Emirates, founded in 1971. The countrys Supreme Council of Rulers, the top policymaking committee, is made up of the hereditary rulers from each individual Emirate. Traditionally, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, currently Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahy-an, holds the presidency of the UAE. The Prime Minister is the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Moham-med bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Due to their population number and economic strength, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the two powerhous-es of the federation.

    The UAEs population is estimated at around 7.8 million, around 90% of which are foreign-ers. Particularly Abu Dhabi and Dubai attract many expatriates, often from South and South East Asia, seeking work opportunities. Islam is the religion of the UAE and has in a

    uAemoderate form an important influence on many facets of life. Arabic is the official na-tional language, though English, Hindi, and Urdu are widely spoken. English, due to its pre-eminence as the language of internation-al business, is commonly used both in busi-ness and in general interaction. On December 2nd 2011, the UAE celebrated 40 years of na-tional union.

    Economic Development

    The UAEs GDP is projected to amount to US$ 386bn in 2012, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This results in a GDP per capita at current prices of about US$ 65,000 an-nually. For the years 2013 to 2017, the Economist Intelligence Unit expects the Emirati economy to grow by 5.2% annually. These positive num-bers are also reflected in the World Banks Ease of Doing Business 2013 report, where the UAE ranked 26th out of 185 countries worldwide. This is a number of a symbolic kind which stands for the UAE s successful efforts to diversify the economy away from dependence on hydrocar-bons. A solid industrial base has been estab-lished along with a very strong services sector. The establishment of free zones has been an im-portant feature of the diversification policy. Re-form of property laws gave a major boost to the real estate and tourism sectors.

    Abu Dhabi and Dubai represent the economic heavy weights of the federation. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which can rely on its enormous oil and gas reserves, is following an ambitious agenda to diversify the economy with the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Dubai as a trading city with a rich tradition is concentrating on its global position as a logistic and financial hub.

    The UAE is an increasingly attractive place to do business with considerable opportunities emerging in each of the Emirates. Clearly Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the main attractions, but in-vestors are now looking further afield towards the emerging markets of the northern Emirates such as Sharjah and Ras Al-Khaimah. Visitors are drawn toward the open, low-tax and robust economy, the stable market, the ease of doing business, the essential back-up provided by first rate infrastructure, the transparent regulatory system, and the legal protection offered to intel-lectual property rights. Currently a new compa-ny and investment law is in process which once in power will ease the conditions for foreign companies in the UAE.

    The UAE has been developing its non-oil activi-ty in recent years. The governments diversifica-tion programmes enabled the non-oil sector to account for around two thirds of the UAEs GDP through large-scale infrastructure investment in transport, trade and tourism. Thus, non-oil

    GDP growth is supposed to reach 6.5% between 2013 and 2016 in Abu Dhabi. In order to enhance the economic diversification strategies entitled UAE Economic Vision 2021, the UAE is current-ly focusing its efforts on investments in the real economy which directly influence the standard of living of all UAE residents, such as renewable energy, airplane components and manufactur-ing, technology, tourism and education, and ex-panding the countrys services sector. The ma-jor industries in the UAE are oil and gas, petrochemicals, aluminium, aeronautics, iron and steel, cement, ceramics, ship repair, phar-maceuticals, tourism, transport, real estate, and financial services.

    The UAE Government is also developing the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector as a strategic move to transform it into a major contributor to the national economy. The SMEs contribution to GDP has already reached 60% in 2011, according to the Ministry of Economy.

    The UAE is the worlds third largest exporter of crude oil and, as of 2012, oil production amounted to over 2.8 million barrels a day. Oil reserves amount to 97.8bn barrels, the sixth largest reserves in the world. Abu Dhabi holds 92.2bn barrels or 94% of the UAE total. Mean-while, natural gas reserves are estimated at 214.2 trillion cubic feet, which is the fifth larg-est in the world, according to official sources.

    Fact File

    The oil sector contributed about one third to the GDP and even oil-rich Abu Dhabi is aiming to have the non-oil sector contribute to nearly two thirds of the GDP by 2030. Abu Dhabi is pushing ahead with a massive investment pro-gram, which includes development of its hy-drocarbon sector to meet domestic and foreign demands. The Abu Dhabi National Oil Compa-ny (ADNOC), which is owned by the Abu Dhabi government and ranks among the top 10 oil and gas companies worldwide, plans to invest further multi-billion US-Dollars in the oil, gas and petrochemical sector in the coming years. ADNOC has begun the implementation of proj-ects to boost Abu Dhabis oil production capac-ity from 2.5 million barrels a day to 3.5 million barrels a day by 2017. Part of the ongoing pro-gram to expand its oil output capacity is the development by the US ExxonMobil of the up-per Zakum oilfield, the worlds fourth largest oilfield. Once completed, the project will lift the fields capacity to an expected 750,000 bar-rels per day in 2015. Another key venture of a long-term investment is the Shah Sour Gas project, with an estimated cost of more than US$ 10bn, which is to be complete by end 2014.

    The development of the downstream industry is one of the UAEs priorities in the diversification of the national economy. Currently a US$ 10bn expansion of the petrochemical refinery in Ru-wais is taking place. In the Khalifa Port and In-

    dustrial Zone, the Abu Dhabi National Chemicals Company (ChemaWEyaat) is building twelve petrochemical plants at the cost of US$ 20bn. The engineering, procurement and construc-tion (EPC) market in the UAE has been dominat-ed in the past two years by the Phase II expan-sion of Emirates Aluminiums (EMAL) smelter complex, located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

    In the Transport and Infrastructure sector, con-struction work on the UAEs US$ 11bn federal rail-way project is under way as the projects first ma-jor civil engineering contract has been awarded. By the end of 2013 the first trains will be in ser-vice in the west of Abu Dhabi. The entire network is expected to carry up to 50 million tonnes of cargo a year by 2030. This will be Abu Dhabis most strategically significant civil engineering project as it seeks to drive the diversification of its industrial base away from its heavy focus on petrochemicals. Central to the plan is the devel-opment of a national-scale transport and logis-tics network that will facilitate the movement of raw materials and finished products to and from industrial facilities and throughout the federa-tion. The first phase of the new network, which could one day be part of a network connecting the region to Saudi Arabia and the other GCC countries as well as Jordan and Syria, is a 266 km long railway in the Abu Dhabi desert that will ini-

    tially support a key energy development by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). The line will transport granulated sulphur from the oil and gas processing facilities at the more than US$ 11bn Shah Gas development plant in the Empty Quarter of southern Abu Dhabi to the port of Ruwais in the Western Region. A line be-tween Ruwais and oil and gas processing facili-ties at Habshan will be built as a part of the first stage of the initial phase to transport 10,000 tonnes of sulphur a day.

    In June 2012, the Emirate of Dubai has complet-ed Phase I of Dubai World Central Al Maktoum International Airport. So far the airport has been confined to cargo only with an annual capacity of 600000 tons of cargo. By 2013 it is planned to be the largest airport in the world in terms of freight handled, transporting up to twelve mil-lion tons per year. Completion is due for 2017. An-other key infrastructure project is the expan-sion of Dubai International Airport, which is expected to handle up to 90 million passengers a year by 2018. In parallel, the second metro line, the Green Line, was completed in 2011. Both lines (Red Line and Green Line 2) are in total more than 70 km in length.

    The UAE remains one of the largest construction markets in the GCC with projects in progress or

    planning stages in 2012 up to a value of US$ 623bn, according to MEED. Considerable build-ing activities are taking place across the Emir-ates. Abu Dhabi still has a major shortage of res-idential units and construction of infrastructure projects such as new roads, the Dubai and Abu Dhabi metros, airports and new industrial areas has proceeded without delay. Moreover, the Abu Dhabi Ports Company, the entity in charge of de-veloping and regulating industrial zones and ports in the capital, has launched the US$ 7.2bn initial phase of its flagship project, Khalifa Indus-trial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD). The infrastruc-ture project is comprised of a multipurpose off-shore port and one of the largest integrated industrial zones in the world. The most ad-vanced container terminal Khalifa Port was in-augurated on the 12 December 2012. The launch-ing of the industrial free zone is on track with the Emirates goal to reduce dependence on hydro-carbons. The industrial complex and its port are expected to generate 15% of Abu Dhabis non-oil GDP by 2030.

    Through its Masdar initiative, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi government-owned Mubadala Development Company, also Abu Dhabi is becoming a world centre for renewable energy technologies. Masdar comprises three business units including Masdar Capital, Mas-

    dar Clean Energy and Masdar City and is com-plemented by Masdar Institute, an indepen-dent, research-driven graduate university. Through a series of projects, the Emirate is cre-ating the worlds first carbon-neutral city of high regional and global relevance. A further in-dicator of the UAEs focus on renewable energy is the creation of the International Renewable Energy Authority (IRENA) in 2009, with its glob-al headquarter in Abu Dhabi.

    In order to foster international business activi-ties in the UAE, each Emirate now has its own free zones. All free zones in the UAE are gov-erned by the independent Free Zone Authority (FZA) which is also the agency responsible for is-suing operating licences and for assisting com-panies with establishing their business. The UAE is home to multiple free zones, including the fa-mous Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai International Fi-nancial City, and Dubai Healthcare City in Dubai, KIZAD, Masdar City Free Zone, Abu Dha-bi Airport Free Zone in Abu Dhabi, the Hamriya Free Zone Authority in Sharjah, RAK Free Trade Zone in Ras Al-Khaimah and many more. More specialized free zones are planned, which will cater to specific sectors including textile, ener-gy, and design cities. Setting up business in one of the UAEs many Free Trade Zones (FTZs) is rec-ognized as an attractive option for foreign in-vestors. The concessions offered to investors in the free zones have led to their success in at-tracting a large number of companies and for-eign direct investment. In turn, this success has had the positive effect of expanding net non-oil exports.

    The Tourism sector is an important pillar of the Emirati economy and increasingly attractive due to its rich tourism varieties and its capabili-ty to provide entertainment, culture, art, music, fairs, and other services in the region. Particu-larly Dubai is first in that field. Visitor numbers in Dubai reached 9.3 million in 2011, according to the Department of Tourism and Com-merce Marketing. In total, real estate consul-tancy Jones Lang LaSalle estimates 1,700 branded hotel rooms entered the market in 2012, while TRI Hospitality estimates that across the market as a whole 3,809 new

    rooms came on stream. Hotels in Abu Dhabi hosted more than 2.1 million visitors in 2011, a figure that continues to rise, with the au-thorities targeting 3.2 million by 2015, ac-cording to Oxford Business Group. Mean-while, Sharjah, widely seen as the UAEs cultural capital, maintains its position as a leading destination for cultural, heritage, and family tourism worldwide. In 2013, the elev-enth Sharjah Biennial took place with more than 100 artists, architects, filmmakers, mu-sicians and performers performing. Further-more, Ras Al-Khaimah is putting a focus on promoting its tourism industry with the numbers of visitors expected to top the one million mark in 2012.

    Economic Outlook

    The UAEs future course is aiming toward sus-taining and broadening economic growth, rap-id expansion of the capacity of public services, particularly in the fields of health, education and transport, an increasing focus on research and development and sustainability, and deep-ening trade and diplomatic ties with a range of partners. Apart from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the other five Emirates that make up the UAE are becoming more important in terms of govern-ment spending plans in the future. Closing the north-south gap through more investments is a major goal of the federal governments fu-ture economic development plans. Thanks to vast resources in its various wealth funds, the UAEs Sovereign Wealth Funds have over US$ 750bn in assets under management in 2012, with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority alone accounting for US$ 627bn, according to the SWF Institute. The UAE strongly supports a GCC-wide free trade agreement with the Euro-pean Union (EU), a position that has recently during the visit of the Minister of Economy, H.E. Sultan bin Saeed Nasser Al-Mansouri to Berlin in April 2013 been affirmed. Close co-

    operation already exists in a wide range of ar-eas, such as trading, infrastructure, health, ed-ucation, environment and energy. The UAE continues to pursue a free and open trade re-gime, signing a number of free-trade agree-ments within the framework of agreements between GCC countries.

    The Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry plays an important role in the ad-vancement of the Emirati economy, particu-larly in encouraging the private sector to ven-ture into all activities related to the economic development. With chambers in all seven Emirates of the federation it is in an ideal posi-tion to promote and implement the continu-ing diversification of the UAE economy.

    German-Emirati Business Relations

    Business relations between Germany and the United Arab Emirates are excellent. Germany is throwing its weight behind a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the GCC and the EU. The bilateral trade volume reached more than EUR 10bn in 2012, making the UAE Germanys most important trading partner in the Arab world.

    Around 1.000 German companies are operat-ing in the UAE, the majority in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. As a regional hub for trade and services, Dubai hosts more than 500 German compa-nies with representative offices in the city. Ger-man companies have a large share at the UAE economy, particularly with the supply of heavy machinery and technical equipment, technol-ogy transfer, and performance of construction works. Thus, German companies are engaged in the construction of power plants, desalina-tion plants, and infrastructure projects. Ger-man products enjoy an excellent reputation in the United Arab Emirates.

    Ras Al Khaimah free Trade Zone (RAK fTZ) one of the fastest-growing free trade zones in the UAE ( RAK fTZ)

    Progress towards the long-term goal of diversification contin ues as non-oil exports increase and the industrial sector is identified as key area of expansion.
