Overview
United Arab Emirates's gdp stood at $569.1B in 2025, a rise of +$16.8B from 2024. The IMF projects $569.1B by 2025. United Arab Emirates ranked 28th globally.
The United Arab Emirates’ gross domestic product has expanded dramatically over the 56‑year span from a modest 685,986,701.32 in 1970 to an all‑time peak of 569,097,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the economy at rank 28 globally. This growth reflects successive diversification efforts beyond oil, extensive infrastructure investment and the development of finance and tourism sectors. Relative to its peers, the UAE’s 2025 output slightly trails Singapore’s 574,185,000,000.00 and exceeds Thailand’s 558,573,000,000.00, while remaining close to Austria’s 566,456,000,000.00 and Israel’s 610,752,000,000.00. The steep ascent from the 1970 trough underscores the country’s successful integration into global value chains, yet the marginal gap with Singapore suggests room for further productivity gains. Continued emphasis on non‑hydrocarbon industries, digital innovation and human‑capital development will be pivotal in sustaining the upward trajectory and narrowing the gap with the region’s most advanced economies.
