The Emirati finance minister said that the UAE’s real gross domestic product grew 3.6% in the first half of 2024, the state news agency reported on Monday. In Abu Dhabi, the index climbed 0.6%.

Most Gulf markets gain on rising oil

The Qatari benchmark eased 0.1%, hit by a 0.3% fall in the Gulf’s biggest lender Qatar National Bank.

Oil prices edged down in thin holiday trade ahead of the year-end as traders awaited more Chinese and US economic data later this week to assess growth in the world’s two largest oil consumers.
