Summary
The Report provides an overview of UAE Global strategic outlook in conformance with vision
2030 that seeks adapt to the millennium development goals. Based on the strategic review, UAE
has developed various strategies that seek to make the country a global hub that is at par with the
industrialized world. One of such strategies includes the Dubai industrial strategy that endeavors
to develop a sustainable knowledge-based economy by the year 2030. Secondly, through Abu
Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management Strategy as well as through Dubai Autonomous
Transportation strategy, the UAE seeks to increase workforce productivity through reduction in
wasted productive person-hours. Such person-hours are wasted partly through traffic jam and
partly through road accidents. Therefore, UAE aims to eliminate loss in productive person-hours
[2]
thus promoting economic growth. Finally, through Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, UAE
endeavours to transform its economy so that it does not overly on oil reserves. Therefore, it is
anticipated that by 2030, UAE will have transformed into a knowledge-based economy that will
be archetypal of innovations and advanced technologies all of which will be anchored on
research and development.

1.0 The UAE’s Global Strategic Outlook for 2030: Strategic Environment
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven Emirates that include Abu Dhabi,
Fujairah, Dubai, Ajman, Sharjah, Ra’s al-Khaimah, and Umm al-Qaiwain.1 UAE is located in
Asia and borders Indian Ocean as well as Arabian Gulf besides bordering countries such as
Oman to the South East and Saudi Arabia to the South-West. UAE global strategy is tied to UAE
vision 2030 that aims to make UAE a competitive global economy through the redefinition of its
transport system, environment, industrial economy and the general economic outlook. UAE
leadership seeks to develop the country into an international tourist hub as well as a global
commercial economy capable of attracting millions of investors from across the globe. This
report seeks to examine the UAE’s global strategic outlook for 2030.
1.1 Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030
Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030 was launched by his highness Sheikh Mohammed in June 2016.
The strategy seeks to elevate Dubai to become a global platform upon which innovation-focused
businesses, sustainable and knowledge-based economy could be developed. 2
Dubai industrial
strategy 2030 is anchored on 5 key objectives that acts as the platform for developing the
industrial future of Dubai. This strategy seeks to enhance value-addition within the
manufacturing sector besides increasing the total manufacturing throughput. Moreover, Dubai
industrial strategy aims at enhancing innovativeness and knowledge development thus making
Dubai a manufacturing hub that is globally preferred. Further, the strategy seeks to develop
energy-efficient manufacturing sector that is environmentally friendly hence making Dubai a
global hub for Islamic-oriented products.3 Based on 2021 Dubai Plan, Dubai industrial strategy

[4]
seeks to transform Dubai into “an international hub for knowledge-based innovation and
sustainable industrial activities.”4This would be achieved through industrial integration and
coherence with other strategic economic sectors so that an attractive investment environment is
created via incentives as well as through a set of initiatives. Such initiatives and incentives are
expected to improve as well as develop the existing industries besides attracting new industries
that have inherent competitive capabilities. UAE has identified 75 strategic initiatives aimed at
transforming Dubai into an international hub of innovation, knowledge, and sustainable
industrial activities.
1.2 Abu Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management Strategy
Through the development of Abu Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management (TMM) strategy,
UAE has a vision of transforming its economy so that it becomes both economically and
environmentally sustainable.5 The TMM strategy aims to encourage behavioural and attitude
change among citizens to promote use of sustainable modes of transport. Such sustainable means
of transport include access to public transport for all people in UAE. Additional objectives of this
strategy include reduction in vehicular traffic and the related traffic congestion through a shift
from private to public transport system. Therefore, developing an efficient public transport that is
multimodal would facilitate interoperability and interconnection of the pertinent transport
networks. 6 Abu Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management (TMM) strategy focus will be on
Abu Dhabi central business district and Abu Dhabi Island. The strategy entails plans such as park

and ride schemes as well as adoption of flexible working hours by the government as well as car-
sharing schemes.7
There have been emerging trends in stakeholder engagement through workshops. The key
objective of such workshops is to facilitate an interface between Department of Transport Work
Streams and TMM project teams. Abu Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management (TMM)
strategy focus is on the Abu Dhabi central business district as well as the Abu Dhabi Island. This
is because; such locations are experiencing one of the fiercest congestion in the UAE.
Additionally, there is a number of commercial and residential settlements that would attract a
significant number of trips every day. Therefore, implementing the Transportation Mobility
Management (TMM) strategy via the mentioned sustainable travel areas would yield huge
benefits to the UAE. One of the priority areas of TMM strategy is to make use of department of
transport projects such as cycling loops, bus lanes and walking measures that are currently under
development. 8
In spite of this anticipated developments, United Arab Emirates: Country Risk
Report points out that Dubai is expected to continuously outperform Abu Dhabi owing to its
economic diversification strategy.
1.3 Dubai Autonomous Transportation strategy
Developed in April 2016, Dubai autonomous transportation strategy has the key goal of
transforming one quarter of overall transportation in Dubai to autonomous by the year 2030. As a
result, this strategy is expected to accrue UAE benefits amounting to AED 22 billion per year on
the basis of revenues. Such revenues would be accumulated because of reduction in carbon
emissions, accidents, transportation costs, as well as raising workforce productivity thus saving

[6]
millions of productive man hours that are wasted through congestion during transportation.
9
Dubai Autonomous transportation strategy is expected to cut transportation cost by 44% this
saving the economy of AED 900 million every year besides cutting carbon footprints by 12%
thus saving the economy AED 1.5 billion annually. Further, it is anticipated that through this
strategy, a 12% reduction in road accidents would be achieved thus saving an equivalent of AED
2 billion every year. This would in turn contribute to 13% increment in workforce productivity
since at least 396 million man-hours would be saved via efficient transportation every year. 10
According to the Oxford Business Group, the government of UAE has agreed to offer
preferential and affordable space for electric cars in order to promote production of clean energy
vehicles. Dubai is a logistic hub when viewed in the lens of land, sea, and air transport.
Therefore, a third of the global population is able to fly to Dubai within utmost four hours
making its location very convenient. 11
Dubai government is determined to develop Dubai into a logistics-dedicated hub. Therefore,
custom procedures have been streamlined with permits and clearances being provided at one-
stop shop. Further, the issuance of free zone incentives ensures that the cost of conducting
business in UAE is low. Additionally, electronic commerce has had a positive implication on
logistics firms. By the end of 2018, it is anticipated that e-commerce will accrue UAE
approximately $10 billion, increment of $7.5 billion compared to $ 2.5 billion revenues accrued
in 2014 through e-commerce. 12The vehicle segment has been underpinned by the government
efforts to improve road infrastructure. Despite the fact that foreign exchange has been volatile,
no other country has been able to outcompete UAE as a global leader in car sales in 2015. For

this reason, car sales in UAE in the 2015 financial year exceeded 400, 000. Due to the growing
luxury car market in Dubai, all global auto manufacturers are in Dubai. 13
1.4 Abu Dhabi Economic vision 2030
The government of UAE particularly Abu Dhabi has established a long-term plan aimed at
transforming the economy of Emirates so that it does not rely on the oil sector for prosperity of
its economic development. Abu Dhabi 2030 economic vision has its key focus on knowledge-
based economy and is anchored on several pillars of economic priorities. Such priorities include
adopting a well-organized fiscal policy that highly responds to economic cycle. 14 That a policy
should be supported by an open, effective, efficient business environment that is globally
integrated. The UAE government also seeks to build a resilient fiscal and financial market
having inherent manageable inflation levels. Other components of Abu Dhabi economic vision
2030 include developing a highly productive labour market that is highly skilled. Moreover, the
government seeks to achieve significant improvement of the labour market efficiency besides
supporting financial markets so that they can build their capabilities to become both projects and
economic sector financiers. 15Abu Dhabi seeks to maintain ethical management of labour force
through the implementation of laws that are in line with international labour organisation
guidelines. Further, through optimisation of government operations, accountability and
efficiency of UAE government would be highly improved.
1.5 Strategy for enhancing defense and Homeland Security

According to Department of Economy and Planning, 16 the 2007/2008 Abu Dhabi policy agenda
seeks to promote a safe and secure economy that promotes economic sustainability. Therefore,
encompassing domestic and international security is among the nine pillars that underlines the
Emirates economic, social, and political future. Through the policy framework, Abu Dhabi has
sought to ensure that UAE cities and towns remain secure places for human habitation as well as
safe places for work. In view of this, the Oxford Business Group reports that aerospace, security
and defence sectors in the UAE have become core in the diversification of Abu Dhabi’s
economic environment. In 2016, the Aerospace segment in Abu Dhabi initiated contracts on
manufacturing, repair, maintenance, and overhauling of original equipment manufacturing to
underpin transformation towards building a knowledge-based economy. 17 In the UAE context,
the General Directorate of Abu Dhabi police is mandated with the role of law enforcement
whereas domestic security is taken care of by the ministry of interior security. In 2012 the UAE
federal government initiated actions to curb the rising cases of cybercrime through the
development of National Electronic Security Authority which has since been critical in resolving
security concerns. Besides, in 2014, the federal government established a mandatory military
service meant for the male Emirates in the endeavor to promote homeland security. Relating to
naval security, UAE has supported shipbuilding with naval shipbuilding contracts amounting to
$424.7 million by August 2016.18 In line with this [Link] reports that the United Arab
Emirates is ranked among the fifteen spenders on the defence sector across the globe. For

1.6 Strategy for building political stability
The United Arab Emirates has transformed to become a model of political stability when looked
in the lens of unrests within the Arabic nations. Emirates Center for Strategic studies perceive
Emirates Political stability as being derived from the country’s leadership that bolsters cohesion
as well as economic openness. The UAE leadership adopts the tolerance and openness policy
which is a key pillar towards creating political stability due to enhanced social harmony and
national cohesiveness. Such a policy rejects violence and extremism in a world characterized by
extremist Islamic followers. 19The government of Emirates has sought to build a tolerant and
stable economy by promoting a culture of tolerance and open mindedness among its citizens.
This explains the difference in political stability between UAE and its neighboring economies.
20
Through Vision 2021 that was set in 2014, Emirates seeks to build a sustainable political
economy that is anchored on a cohesive society and a fair judiciary thereby positioning UAE as
among the countries with the highest Global competitive index. 21
Therefore, people who are
thought to undermine Emirates political stability are ruthlessly dealt with through the legal
system given that security forces have taken full control of UAE. Apart from vision 2021 the
UAE has sought for political reforms through constitutional amendments as well as the UAE
government strategy of 2007. Article sixty two of the UAE constitution was amended in the year
2008 to empower Federal National Council to build a wide scope of political influence. On the
other hand, the 2007 government strategy entails building collaboration between the local and

federal governments with the aim of enhancing policy making and redefining the manner in
which legislation is carried out.22
2.0 Strategic Analysis
2.1 Strategic indicator 1: Economic and Political sustainability
Economic and political stability are some of the indicators of UAE progress towards achieving
vision 2030. Over the last decade, the industrial sector in Dubai had immense contribution
towards the national Gross Domestic Product with a contribution ranging between 11% and 14%.
This made the industrial sector the third largest contributor to the national GDP after trade and
logistics. Therefore, the industrial sector has depicted a growth over the last decade in spite of
the prevailing global financial crisis challenge. 23 In this way, UAE succeeded in maintaining the
prosperity of its industrial sector amid global economic challenges. These trends are as shown in
the following figures.

Going forward, the government of UAE seeks to integrate six industrial subsectors into its
economic development agenda. Such subsectors include Maritime, Aerospace, Fast Moving
Consumable Goods (FMCG), Aluminum and Fabricated Goods, Pharmaceuticals and Medical
Equipment as well as Machinery & Equipment. In the light of this, Emirates Aerospace is among
the largest and fastest growing sectors gauged on the global perspective. Emirates Airlines is
among the global leaders in Aerospace and owns a vast and competitive airlines fleet globally. 25
Therefore, through localization of manufacturing in the Aerospace subsector, UAE seeks to
develop manufacturing competences capable of propelling the industry to success utilizing
localized knowledge and skills. A similar strategy is being applied in the maritime subsector
24
Dubai statistics center
25
2021 Dubai Plan, p.7
[12]
where localized manufacturing of ships and boats among other maritime vessels is being
pursued.
In the lens of global strategy, UAE Aluminum and Fabricated Metals subsector is among the
leading sectors globally particularly in the production of Aluminum. The gauging of UAE global
position is based on upstream manufacturing of primary products and this strategy seeks to
promote UAE global competitiveness besides expanding its downstream manufacturing of
finished goods.26 However, in the context of UAE’s fast moving consumable goods, the Emirate
seeks to target Halal industries so that the United Arab Emirates could be transformed into the
capital for Islamic economy. In relation to Machinery and Equipment, this sector contributes to
25% of Dubai industrial sector and the government seeks to maintain this competitiveness to
earn a global position. 27
On the other hand, UAE has not experienced political instability over
the last few decades owing to its success in building a sound political system.28
2.2 Strategic Indicator 2: Reduction in traffic jams, traffic accidents, and use of shared
hybrid cars
According to the Oxford Business Group, there are some emerging trends that seek to depict the
progress of the Autonomous Transportation Strategy. The tram and metro systems coupled with
improved bus services have helped eased congestion in Emirates. As at 2005, congestion in
Emirates was estimated to cost the government approximately DH 5.9 billion every year on
wasted production time. During the same year, deaths out of traffic accidents in UAE was rated
at 21.7% and this was four times compared to the UK accident affiliated deaths. 29 Another

indicator of the progressive execution of this strategy is the presence of global luxury car
manufacturers in UAE. Companies such as Al Habtoor Motors trades in models such as Bentley,
McLaren, and Bugatti has high sales in UAE compared to the neighbouring countries such as
Oman and Saudi Arabia. 30Dubai has become a logistics hub thus attracting global-level aviation,
maritime and land transportation systems. Therefore, UAE gains a lot from its strategic location
since one third of the global population requires approximately four hours to fly into Dubai.
UAE is also located midway between Asia and Europe and the strategic location of the busy Gulf
seaway that serves Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. 31
2.3 Strategic Indicator 3: Use of public transport, use of shared vehicles, implementation of
flexible working hours.
Based on the preceding discussion, there are strategic indicators that need to be monitored to
ensure that the TMM strategy is achieved in accordance with vision 2030. Such indicators
include the level of implementation of flexible working hours in UAE as well as park and ride
scheme. Another indicator is the sharing of cars as well as the use of public transport to eliminate
vehicular traffic congestion in the major cities of UAE.32 Kazem reports that Dubai has turned
out to be a strategic platform for the public transport initiative that has been promoted through
the Road and Transport Authority’s mass transit portfolio. Dubai Public transport day is
celebrated on the first day of November every year and has succeeded in creating awareness
about the merits of public transport to the public. Therefore, public transport acts as a solution
towards the attainment of UAE environmental, economic and sustainable energy goals via
improved mobility. 33
In 2017, Dubai launched a car-sharing service and the service had

previously been launched in Abu Dhabi. In Dubai, Udrive launched 100 cars issuing them with
permits from the Abu Dhabi department of transport to regulate their operations in UAE.
Therefore, through the Udrive smartphone application, motorist and passengers are able to view
the available cars within their vicinity thus being able to share them with other passengers. 34
2.4 Strategic indicator 4: Liberalization and integration of the UAE economy, UAE internal
security and nature of UAE economy
Based on the preceding discussion, there are several indicators that need to be monitored to
ensure that the UAE government realizes the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Such indicators
include; the openness and integration of UAE business environment, the nature of UAE fiscal
policy and its responsiveness to economic cycles as well as internal homeland security. Other
indicators include the nature of UAE labour market, workforce productivity, and the level of
workforce skill as well as the strength of UAE financial markets. In 2015, UAE launched a
liberalization and diversification scheme aimed at reducing UAE reliance on oil and this seeks to
change its traditional labour-intensive economy to a knowledge-based economy. Abu Dhabi
Economic Vision 2030 is a diversification driver and seeks to promote investment in industrial
and export-oriented sectors as well as in technology and tourism. UAE vision 2021, which is part
of the drivers of vision 2030, prioritizes innovation, R&D, as well as technology which is the
core of a knowledge-based economy. 35
The government of Abu Dhabi has already initiated
extensive reviews of its structures, processes, and operations. Therefore, a majority of the UAE
government operations have become electronic and this has been supported by the development
of e-government portal. 36
Finally, the UAE government spending on security is on the increase.

For example, in 2016, UAE spent approximately $23.4 million on its defence sector and the
cumulative aggregate expenditure has been raising year by year. The country has also developed
an offset program called the Tawazun Economic Program whose aim is to oversee defence
procurement programs that seeks to build economic value for UAE. The core aims of the
program is to help build a knowledge based economy besides creating a sustainable defence
sector in the Emirates. 37
3.0 Conclusion
Based on this report, it can be deduced that UAE has sought to integrate its economy to the
global by adopting various strategies that are global. Through Abu Dhabi Economic vision
2030, UAE seeks to build a knowledge-based economy that is anchored on innovations,
technology as well as research and deveopment. This is oposed to the conventional UAE
economy that is reliant on oil reserves. Secondly, through the Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030,
United Arab Emirates strives to develop a manufacturing economy that is sustainable thereby
making UAE a hub of islamic products. Through the government strategic initiatives, the
Emirates has endeavoured to develop an innovative, knoledge-based economy that attarcts
investors from across the globe. Thirdly, Dubai Autonomous Transportation strategy aims to
incresae economic productivity by reducing wasting of man hours through traffic cogestion as
well as loss of life through accidents. Additionally, UAE has developed strategies for promoting
internal security besides developing political stability. Therefore, UAE strategies are in line with
Vision 2030 and seeks to build an economy that is socially, economically, politically and
environmentally sustainable.
