In a notable shift within the United Arab Emirates' financial landscape, the private sector loan growth saw a significant increase in May 2025.

This rise signifies a marked year-over-year escalation during the assessment period.

The data showcases the UAE's burgeoning economic conditions and a robust demand for private sector financing, contributing to an accelerated loan growth rate. This is a year-over-year comparison, indicating a positive change in May's figures against the same month in the previous year.
