Its wealth    is based on oil and gas output (about 40% of GDP), and the fortunes of    the economy fluctuate with the prices of those commodities. Since    1973, the UAE has undergone a profound transformation from an    impoverished region of small desert principalities to a modern state    with a high standard of living. At present levels of production, crude    oil reserves should last for over 100 years. Although much stronger    economically than most Gulf states, the UAE faces similar problems    with weak international oil prices and the pressures for cuts in OPEC    oil production quotas. The UAE government is encouraging increased    privatization within the economy.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $62.7 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: -0.5% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $22,480 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 5.1% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: NEGL% (1988)       Budget:    revenues: $4.3 billion    expenditures: $4.8 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1993 est)       Exports: $24 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: crude oil 66%, natural gas, re-exports, dried fish, dates       partners: Japan 35%, South Korea 5%, Iran 4%, Oman 4%, Singapore 4%    (1993)       Imports: $20 billion (f.o.b., 1994)    commodities: manufactured goods, machinery and transport equipment,    food    partners: Japan 12%, UK 10%, US 9%, Germany 7%, South Korea 5% (1993)       External debt: $11.6 billion (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 1.7% (1992 est.); accounts for 50%    of GDP, including petroleum       Electricity:    capacity: 4,760,000 kW    production: 16.5 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 5,796 kWh (1993)       Industries: petroleum, fishing, petrochemicals, construction    materials, some boat building, handicrafts, pearling       Agriculture: accounts for 2% of GDP and 5% of labor force; cash crop -    dates; food products - vegetables, watermelons, poultry, eggs, dairy,    fish; only 25% self-sufficient in food       Illicit drugs: growing role as heroin transshipment and    money-laundering center       Economic aid:    donor: pledged in bilateral aid to less developed countries (1979-89)    $9.1 billion       Currency: 1 Emirian dirham (Dh) = 100 fils       Exchange rates: Emirian dirhams (Dh) per US$1 - 3.6710 (fixed rate)       Fiscal year: calendar year       United Arab Emirates:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 2,000 km    paved: 1,800 km    unpaved: gravel, graded earth 200 km       Pipelines: crude oil 830 km; natural gas, including natural gas    liquids, 870 km       Ports: Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Das Island, Khawr Fakkan, Mina' Jabal' Ali,    Mina' Khalid, Mina' Rashid, Mina' Saqr, Mina' Zayid, Umm al Qiwain       Merchant marine:    total: 57 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 1,128,253 GRT/1,938,770    DWT    ships by type: bulk 1, cargo 18, chemical tanker 1, container 10,    liquefied gas tanker 1, livestock carrier 1, oil tanker 21,    refrigerated cargo 1, roll-on/roll-off cargo 3       Airports:    total: 41    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 9    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 2    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 3    with paved runways under 914 m: 12    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 3    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 8       United Arab Emirates:Communications       Telephone system: 386,600 telephones; modern system consisting of    microwave and coaxial cable; key centers are Abu Dhabi and Dubayy    local: NA    intercity: microwave and coaxial cable    international: 3 INTELSAT (1 Atlantic Ocean and 2 Indian Ocean) and 1    ARABSAT earth station; submarine cables to Qatar, Bahrain, India, and    Pakistan; tropospheric scatter to Bahrain; microwave radio relay to    Saudi Arabia       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 8, FM 3, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 12    televisions: NA       United Arab Emirates:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, paramilitary (includes Federal Police    Force)       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,072,261; males fit for    military service 583,967; males reach military age (18) annually    19,266 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $1.59 billion, 4.3%    of GDP (1994)

The economy is essentially capitalistic; over the past    13 years the ruling Tories have greatly reduced public ownership and    contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is    intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards,    producing about 60% of food needs with only 1% of the labor force. The    UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves, and primary energy    production accounts for 12% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any    industrial nation. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and    business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP    while industry continues to decline in importance, now employing only    25% of the work force and generating only 21% of GDP. The economy    registered 4.2% GDP growth in 1994, its fastest annual rate for six    years. Exports and manufacturing output are the primary engines of    growth. Unemployment is gradually falling. Inflation is at the lowest    level in 27 years, but British monetary authorities raised interest    rates to 6.25% in 1994 in a preemptive strike on emerging inflationary    pressures such as higher taxes and rising manufacturing costs. The    combination of a buoyant economy and fiscal tightening is projected to    trim the FY94/95 budget shortfall to about $50 billion - down from    about $75 billion in FY93/94. The major economic policy question for    Britain in the 1990s is the terms on which it participates in the    financial and economic integration of Europe.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $1.0452 trillion    (1994 est.)       National product real growth rate: 4.2% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $17,980 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 2.4% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 9.3% (1994)       Budget:    revenues: $325.5 billion    expenditures: $400.9 billion, including capital expenditures of $33    billion (FY93/94 est.)       Exports: $200 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: manufactured goods, machinery, fuels, chemicals,    semifinished goods, transport equipment    partners: EU countries 56.7% (Germany 14.0%, France 11.1%, Netherlands    7.9%), US 10.9%       Imports: $215 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: manufactured goods, machinery, semifinished goods,    foodstuffs, consumer goods    partners: EU countries 51.7% (Germany 14.9%, France 9.3%, Netherlands    8.4%), US 11.6%       External debt: $16.2 billion (June 1992)       Industrial production: growth rate 5.6% (1994)       Electricity:    capacity: 65,360,000 kW    production: 303 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 5,123 kWh (1993)       Industries: production machinery including machine tools, electric    power equipment, automation equipment, railroad equipment,    shipbuilding, aircraft, motor vehicles and parts, electronics and    communications equipment, metals, chemicals, coal, petroleum, paper    and paper products, food processing, textiles, clothing, and other    consumer goods       Agriculture: accounts for only 1.5% of GDP; wide variety of crops and    livestock products       Illicit drugs: gateway country for Latin American cocaine entering the    European market; producer of synthetic drugs; transshipment point for    Southwest Asian heroin; money-laundering center       Economic aid:    donor: ODA and OOF commitments (1992-93), $3.2 billion       Currency: 1 British pound (#) = 100 pence       Exchange rates: British pounds (#) per US$1 - 0.6350 (January 1995),    0.6529 (1994), 0.6033 (1993), 0.5664 (1992), 0.5652 (1991), 0.5603    (1990)       Fiscal year: 1 April - 31 March       United Kingdom:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 16,888 km; note - several additional small standard-gauge and    narrow-gauge lines are privately owned and operated    broad gauge: 330 km 1.600-m gauge (190 km double track)    standard gauge: 16,558 km 1.435-m gauge (4,950 km electrified; 12,591    km double or multiple track)       Highways:    total: 360,047 km (includes Northern Ireland)    paved: 360,047 km (includes Northern Ireland; Great Britain has 3,100    km limited access divided highway)       Inland waterways: 2,291 total; British Waterways Board, 606 km; Port    Authorities, 706 km; other, 979 km       Pipelines: crude oil (almost all insignificant) 933 km; petroleum    products 2,993 km; natural gas 12,800 km       Ports: Aberdeen, Belfast, Bristol, Cardiff, Grangemouth, Hull, Leith,    Liverpool, London, Manchester, Medway, Sullom Voe, Tees, Tyne       Merchant marine:    total: 155 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 3,249,823 GRT/3,978,336    DWT    ships by type: bulk 11, cargo 24, chemical tanker 2, container 23,    liquefied gas tanker 3, oil tanker 56, passenger 7, passenger-cargo 1,    refrigerated cargo 1, roll-on/roll-off cargo 13, short-sea passenger    13, specialized tanker 1       Airports:    total: 505    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 10    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 30    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 174    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 91    with paved runways under 914 m: 172    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 1    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 27       United Kingdom:Communications       Telephone system: 30,200,000 telephones; technologically advanced    domestic and international system    local: NA    intercity: NA equal mix of buried cables, microwave and optical-fiber    systems    international: 40 coaxial submarine cables; 10 INTELSAT (7 Atlantic    Ocean and 3 Indian Ocean), 1 INMARSAT, and 1 EUTELSAT earth satellite;    at least 8 large international switching centers       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 225, FM 525 (mostly repeaters), shortwave 0    radios: 70 million       Television:    broadcast stations: 207 (repeaters 3,210)    televisions: 20 million       United Kingdom:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Royal Navy (includes Royal Marines), Royal Air Force       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 14,429,485; males fit for    military service 12,041,935 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $35.1 billion, 3.1%    of GDP (FY95/96)

The economy is market oriented    with most decisions made by private individuals and business firms and    with government purchases of goods and services made predominantly in    the marketplace. In 1989 the economy enjoyed its seventh successive    year of substantial growth, the longest in peacetime history. The    expansion featured moderation in wage and consumer price increases and    a steady reduction in unemployment to 5.2% of the labor force. In    1990, however, growth slowed to 1% because of a combination of    factors, such as the worldwide increase in interest rates, Iraq's    invasion of Kuwait in August, the subsequent spurt in oil prices, and    a general decline in business and consumer confidence. In 1991 output    fell by 0.6%, unemployment grew, and signs of recovery proved    premature. Growth picked up to 2.3% in 1992 and to 3.1% in 1993.    Unemployment, however, declined only gradually, the increase in GDP    being mainly attributable to gains in output per worker. The year 1994    witnessed a solid 4% gain in real output, a low inflation rate of    2.6%, and a drop in unemployment below 6%. The capture of both houses    of Congress by the Republicans in the elections of 8 November 1994    means substantial changes are likely in US economic policy, including    changes in the ways the US will address its major economic problems in    1995-96. These problems include inadequate investment in economic    infrastructure, rapidly rising medical costs of an aging population,    and sizable budget and trade deficits.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $6.7384 trillion    (1994)       National product real growth rate: 4.1% (1994)       National product per capita: $25,850 (1994)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 2.6% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 5.5% (March 1995)       Budget:    revenues: $1.258 trillion    expenditures: $1.461 trillion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1994)       Exports: $513 billion (f.o.b., 1994)    commodities: capital goods, automobiles, industrial supplies and raw    materials, consumer goods, agricultural products    partners: Western Europe 24.3%, Canada 22.1%, Japan 10.5% (1993)       Imports: $664 billion (c.i.f., 1994)    commodities: crude oil and refined petroleum products, machinery,    automobiles, consumer goods, industrial raw materials, food and    beverages    partners: Canada, 19.3%, Western Europe 18.1%, Japan 18.1% (1993)       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate 5.4% (1994 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 695,120,000 kW    production: 3.1 trillion kWh    consumption per capita: 11,236 kWh (1993)       Industries: leading industrial power in the world, highly diversified    and technologically advanced;
