PMI Highlights Robust Growth The seasonally adjusted UAE PMI climbed to 55.4 in December from 54.2 in November, signaling robust growth well above the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. This marked the third consecutive monthly increase, underscoring sustained recovery in the non-oil sector. Key drivers of growth included a notable rise in new business activity.

-

Reaching a new landmark, the United Arab Emirates has fixed number one position for itself as it distributes the most number of doses of coronavirus vaccine in the world. Last week saw UAE’s daily dose rate at 1.16 for every 100 people.

Taking the overall data into consideration, the doses administered in the emirati nation are only second to Israel at 20.9 among 100 people. As far as making the vaccine available to civilians in the country, the UAE ranks number fifth in the world after the United States, China, the United Kingdom and Israel.

NCEMA tweeted a statement made by Dr. Saif Al Dhaheri, who said, “The UAE ranked first worldwide in terms of daily doses over the past seven days at a rate of 1.16 doses per 100 people, and fifth in terms of the availability of Covid-19 vaccines.”

Till Tuesday, the UAE healthcare centres have administered over 2.06 million doses of the covid-19 vaccine of the two vaccines available in the country--Sinopharma and Pfizer. The efforts and initiative of the healthcare officials were marked by Al Dhaheri who in his weekly briefing for Covid-19 said the country’s vaccination campaign is one of the most important national initiatives.

“We call on all community members to receive the vaccine at the nearest health centre ... in order to reach the required targets in the fastest time. Our best way to recover is to take the vaccine,” said Al Dhaheri.

The UAE government has initiated a number of benefits of getting a covid-19 vaccination to encourage people to get their doses of vaccine shots as fast as possible. It is well in line to vaccinate fifty percent of its entire population ahead of time.

The vaccines are being administered free of charge in the country.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
