The emirate’s real gross domestic product (GDP) is forecasted to expand between 4 to 5 percent during the current year, said Dubai Economic Council. It said that even though all sectors will contribute to this year's growth, however, trade and other non-hydrocarbon sectors will record notable expansions during the aforementioned period. The trade, tourism and industry, in addition to other key sectors attribute 96 percent of the emirate's GDP. It is worth noting that Dubai's real GDP in 2011 grew 3 percent.
