Dubai’s non-oil economy jumps to three-year high led by growth in travel, construction sectors

Dubai’s non-oil economy has continued its upward trend led by high travel demand, as well as the increase in new work in the construction sector.

The seasonally adjusted S&P Global Dubai Purchasing Managers’ Index – which looks at output, new orders, employments, suppliers’ delivery time, and stocks of purchased goods – rose for the second month to 56.1 in June, from 55.7 in May – the highest reading since the same month pre-pandemic.
