1. United Arab Emirates Monetary , Banking & Financial Markets Developments 2017 – 2nd Quarter Report August 2017
2. 2nd Quarter 2017 [UNITED ARAB EMIRATES MONETARY, BANKING & FINANCIAL MARKETS DEVELOPMENTS] Introduction As part of its commitment to promote economic and financial stability and growth in the UAE, the Central Bank of the UAE actively fosters a stable and efficient financial system by providing effective central banking services. The United Arab Emirates Monetary, Banking and Financial Markets Developments Report is one of the many avenues through which the Central Bank seeks to keep its stakeholders informed. This report discusses the monetary and banking activities as well as developments in the UAE financial markets during the second quarter of 2017, in comparison to the second quarter of the previous year. The report also reviews ratios of annual change over the period from June 2016 to June 2017. Monetary Developments Money Supply M1, which comprises Currency in Circulation outside Banks (Currency Issued - Cash at banks) plus Monetary Deposits, increased by 0.5% during the second quarter of 2017, compared to a 1.9% reduction during the same period last year. On an annual basis, there was a 5.4% increase in the monetary aggregate M1, reaching AED 507.1 billion. Money Supply M2 (M1 plus Quasi Monetary Deposits (Resident Time and Savings Deposits in Dirham plus Resident Deposits in Foreign Currencies)), decreased by 0.4% during the second quarter of 2017, compared to a 3.1% reduction during the same period last year. On an annual basis, there was a 7.3% increase in Money Supply M2, reaching AED 1267.1 billion. Consequently, Money Supply M3 (M2 plus government deposits at banks and at the Central Bank) also decreased by 0.2% during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to a 0.7% decrease during the second quarter of 2016. On an annual basis, there was a 7.2% increase in Money Supply M3, reaching AED 1463.1 billion. Generally, the median money supply, M2, is considered the best indicator for the availability of liquidity in the economy, as it comprises currency in circulation outside banks, in addition to various deposits of all the resident sectors except the government sector in the UAE. Statistical data show that at the end of the second quarter of 2017, M2 decreased relatively slower in comparison to its position at the end of the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in M2 during the second quarter of 2017 was mainly due to a fall in non-government resident deposits by 0.6% reaching 1199.7 billion, compared to a larger reduction of 3.5% (AED 1116 billion) during the same period of the previous year.
