United Arab Emirates GDP: $975 billion

GDP 2025 AND ESTIMATES FOR 2026 & 2030 IN GDP PPP

World Economics estimates United Arab Emirates's 2025 GDP at $975 billion in PPP terms (Purchasing Power Parity) and an initial estimate of $1.006 trillion for 2026. This figure is 23% higher than the official estimate published by the World Bank.

World Economics' methodology incorporates crucial factors often overlooked in official estimates, such as:

  • The size of the informal economy: It is estimated that 23% of United Arab Emirates's economic activity occurs outside the formal sector.
  • Outdated GDP base year data: Many countries use outdated base years for their GDP calculations, leading to an underestimation of economic growth. United Arab Emirates uses a chain-weighted GDP base year.

By adjusting for these factors where required, World Economics provides a more accurate picture of United Arab Emirates's true economic size and potential.

For reference, offical data reported United Arab Emirates's GDP as $464 billion in 2015 constant prices and $535 billion in current prices for 2024.
