Growth in UAE household wealth likely to continue despite regional conflict: UBS Chief Economist
19 June 2025 00:25 KHALED AL KHAWALDEH (ABU DHABI) The outlook for household wealth in the UAE remains positive despite ongoing regional tensions, according to Paul Donovan, Chief Economist at UBS Global Wealth Management. Speaking at the release of the UBS Global Wealth Report 2025, Donovan underscored that the impact of the regional conflict on the UAE's wealth trajectory is expected to be limited. "The conflict is obviously a human tragedy. We are seeing a great deal of suffering as it unfolds," Donovan told Aletihad on Wednesday. "However, it is primarily a localised conflict, and at a global level, the economic and financial market implications to date have been very muted. I think that is likely to continue."Donovan emphasised that while geopolitical tensions can cause short-term volatility in asset prices, they are unlikely to derail the UAE's medium-term wealth creation, which, according to UBS data, has been substantial in the last decade. "I would not be expecting a great deal of disruption to the local economies in the UAE if we see an extended period of conflict," he noted. "There may be some implications for, say, the tourism industry, but it's unlikely to lead to a dramatic shift in terms of the medium-term direction of the economy and the wealth creation that is going on there."One factor Donovan pointed out is the limited movement in oil prices despite the conflict. He said the sector had proven to be resilient and believed the UAE would continue to benefit economically under the current trajectory of the conflict. "The movement in the oil price has been a positive movement, but a fairly limited movement," he said. "We're not seeing significant disruption at the moment. The expectation is that there will not be any threats over the Straits of Hormuz. In that situation, again, I don't see this as having a significant medium-term impact," he UBS Global Wealth Report 2025, released on Wednesday, highlights strong underlying fundamentals in the UAE's wealth landscape. According to the report, the UAE has seen significant growth in median household wealth since 2020, with median wealth per adult rising by more than 23% after adjusting for inflation. However, average wealth per adult grew more modestly at just 2.35% over the same period, suggesting a more polarised distribution of wealth gains compared to neighbouring Saudi Arabia and other economies. The report shows that about 62% of the UAE's gross wealth is held in financial assets, while non-financial assets such as property account for roughly 48%. Debt levels remain modest, at around 9% of gross number of dollar millionaires in the UAE also continued to rise in 2024, reaching over 240,000 individuals. The country added 13,000 in the last year, the second largest rate of growth, just behind Türkiye. Globally, the report found that household wealth rose again in 2024, following a buoyant 2023, although growth was uneven across regions. North America and China remain dominant, jointly accounting for over half of the total personal wealth in the UBS study's 56-country sample. The report also noted the rise of the so-called EMILLIs, everyday millionaires with between $1 million and $5 million in assets, a group that has quadrupled globally since 2000, largely on the back of inflated real estate values. Looking ahead, UBS expects the global millionaire population to increase by nearly 9% by 2029, adding over five million new millionaires. The UAE is poised to contribute to this growth, fuelled by its economic diversification efforts and prudent wealth management practices.

As Billy Donovan nears extension with Chicago Bulls, will their patience with coach and front office pan out?
The Chicago Bulls aren't making major changes anytime soon. The roster might see some mild overturn this summer as the Bulls add a rookie with the No. 12 draft pick next Wednesday and shop several players in potential trades. But team leadership is expected to stay the same from top to bottom as the Bulls prepare to rebuild — again — around young players such as Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis. That continuity includes coach Billy Donovan, who is currently negotiating a contract extension, per a league source, with the expectation of keeping the newly elected Hall of Famer in Chicago on another long-term deal. An extension for Donovan, whom the Bulls hired in September 2020, would continue the third-longest current tenure among NBA coaches. He trails only the Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra, who succeeded Pat Riley in April 2008, and the Golden State Warriors' Steve Kerr, hired in May 2014. Even after another losing season, the front office's continued commitment to Donovan should come as no surprise. Earlier this month the Bulls declined the New York Knicks' request to interview Donovan — one of many declined invitations as the Knicks struggle to fill their dance card after firing Tom Thibodeau three days after their first trip to the Eastern Conference finals since 2000 ended. Executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas never has wavered in his faith that Donovan is the correct coach to helm the Bulls. For a team looking to build around young talent, Donovan does appear to be a natural fit. Buzelis, Giddey and Coby White have credited him for their substantial improvements. And Donovan's ability to develop a new style of offense in 2024-25 showed how he can mold his system to fit the available personnel. 'We have a very close relationship,' Karnišovas said during exit interviews in April. 'We work very closely together. I thought he's done an unbelievable job to transform this group and accomplish certain goals of changing the way we played last year. 'From the players' perspective, they buy into what Billy's trying to teach them and they respond to him. He's done an unbelievable job and I have full confidence moving forward with Billy.' But despite their vocal support, the Bulls haven't always been transparent about their dealings with Donovan. They quietly extended his contract in 2022 without an announcement. The deal wasn't reported until long after the ink had dried. This year's extension talks have been less furtive, but the roadmap for Donovan's future in Chicago remains unclear as he potentially approaches another multiyear deal. The Bulls' loyalty to Donovan is no surprise — and neither is the continued commitment to Karnišovas and general manager Marc Eversley. Both are also due for contract extensions this summer that likely would coincide with a new deal for Donovan. Extending the tenure of Karnišovas and Eversley might seem unearned after a third consecutive losing season and play-in tournament meltdown. But for the Reinsdorf family, this is par for the course. This is not an ownership group inclined toward quick action. Former executive vice president John Paxson and GM Gar Forman were afforded a decade together before their reign ended. Karnišovas and Eversley, who were hired in the spring of 2020, might not have quite as long of a leash, but the team's preference for stability hasn't changed even with the mediocre results under current management. Sometimes patience is pragmatic. The original blueprint under Karnišovas and Eversley was heavily derailed by significant injuries in the 2021-22 season. And the current stable of young players offers some hope for what the Bulls can build. But the only true reward for patience is meaningful success in the postseason — not play-in tournament games or buzzer-beater highlights. Until Karnišovas, Eversley and Donovan can deliver that type of success, the trio will remain under heavy scrutiny from Bulls fans — regardless of their stability on Madison Street.

The new product comes after Morrisons ' introduced another Dubai Chocolate-inspired product earlier this year – its Flair Pistachio Kunafa Dubai Chocolate Cake Bar, priced at £4 for a 55g serving. However, the cake bar got mixed feedback from shoppers at the time, who took to the internet to share their thoughts. One satisfied customer expressed: "Worth every penny as I've spent £65 on one large bar from another company and enjoyed this better for under £5." In contrast, another grumbled about the cost, saying: "It tastes so good but it way too expensive." Another critic weighed in. stating: "I personally think it's horrid... and not worth the £4." While yet another lamented: "It's not worth the money." One more disgruntled customer chimed in: "£4 a bar, not paying that." Morrisons has also been in the news this week as it's been urged to make a 'major change' in its stores. Both Sainsbury's and Morrisons have been told to stop "advertising and promoting" heated tobacco products, which produce vapours containing nicotine, rather than smoke.

Morrisons is first supermarket to launch ‘viral' TikTok tipple for just £7 – & it'll upgrade your summer garden parties
It is the latest product to be inspired by this year's breakout food trend COCKTAIL HOUR Morrisons is first supermarket to launch 'viral' TikTok tipple for just £7 – & it'll upgrade your summer garden parties MORRISONS has unveiled the very first 'Dubai Chocolate'-inspired cream liqueur – and it should help sweeten any garden party. Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur has been inspired by this year's breakout food trend that kickstarted viral ripples on social media. Advertisement 1 The cocktail combines chocolate, pistachio and cream liqueur The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur. Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online for just £7 (70cl). It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat. The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. Advertisement That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar. The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads. However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy. The Sun recently spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open. Advertisement Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media. Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99. Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop. It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes. Advertisement Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend. One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar. The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar. Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10. Advertisement Despite the price, it was so popular the retailer had to impose a two-bar limit on shoppers. FSA issues warning over Dubai-style products A WARNING has been issued for Dubai-style chocolate products over concerns for customer health. The FSA issued a warning on June 12 urging customers to remain cautious when purchasing the trendy chocolate product. It comes after the watchdog identified a number of products that pose a health risk to customers with allergies. Imported products may not be intended for sale within the UK and might not comply with UK labelling laws, meaning allergens might not be accurately labelled. Other products may contain additives and colours which are banned in the UK market. An investigation is underway as the FSA is surveying and sampling the products to work out how widespread the issue is. They are also working alongside allergy charities to raise awareness of the risks to customer health. While they reported that "most" of the Dubai-style chocolates available in UK shops was safe, customers are asked to remain vigilant and to report any concerns to your local authority. Sainsbury's started selling a Lindt version of the Dubai-style chocolate for £10. Iceland is selling two different bars: the Nelino Dubai-Style Chocolate (£2 for 62g) and Bolci Dubai Chocolate (£5 for 100g).
