The Washington-based finance organization added that the rebound into a surplus in 2011, which accounted for around 5.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), was driven by a 50 percent increase in oil prices.

It is worth noting that in 2012, the UAE is forecasted to record a surplus of nearly USD9.66 billion, however, revenues are expected to drop to USD113.48 billion, as oil earnings are projected to fall to about USD85.71 billion.
