UAE And Saudi Arabia To Become Global leaders In RE Sector : Reports
Research by UBS, the world’s largest wealth manager, concludes that while the transformation from non-renewable to renewable energy sources is underway, its speed may be overestimated. In a new report entitled The Middle East at a crossroads: The energy transition, the company’s Chief Investment Office expects crude oil and gas prices to trend higher in coming years. “The world’s thirst for energy seems almost insatiable, and while the pandemic will likely cause the first contraction in global energy demand since the 1980s, we believe global oil demand has not yet peaked,” says Michael Bolliger, Chief Investment Officer for Emerging Markets at UBS Global Wealth Management and leading author of the report. This revised timeline provides additional time for countries in the Middle East to diversify their economies away from hydrocarbon exports into higher value-add sectors.
