Housing Market in the United Arab Emirates
From the IMF’s latest report on UAE:
“A sharp deepening in the real estate downturn and weakening asset quality could constrain bank lending, which in turn could hold back the recovery.”
“Given the risk of spillovers from declining real estate prices, staff urged the CBU to resist calls for relaxing prudential limits on real estate lending. The authorities are preparing to develop a new bank resolution regime; in the meantime, staff encouraged the CBU to discuss contingency plans for banks in case of an abrupt tightening of financial conditions or other adverse shocks.”
