Country Forecast.

A political risk report for United Arab Emirates as of May 1, 2010 is presented. It is expected that the debt crisis that erupted in Dubai in November 2009 could take years to fully unwind. According to the forecast, an increase in both production levels and prices of oil will contribute to an improved performance of that sector in 2010 and Abu Dhabi will continue to invest in oil development projects. A political stability is also projected following the transition of leadership in the country.
