The\u00a0ensuing uncertainty\u00a0led an increasing number of people to take their money out of the country instead of investing domestically.<\/p>\n<p>The slowdown in private consumption in early 2018 compounded the shock. Consumers faced the introduction of a value-added tax, costlier fuel prices as subsidies were reduced, higher utility bills and rising expatriate levies. The increase in government spending couldn\u2019t reverse the trend &#8212; non-oil growth fell to 1.6% in 1Q18 from 2.3% in 3Q17.<\/p>\n<p>But the economy is now showing new signs of life, according to our newly-built activity heat map. A number of indicators are picking up, showing non-oil growth has returned to levels seen before the corruption purge.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>Higher than 2018, much lower than pre-2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Official GDP data for 1Q, due for release at the end of June, will truly reveal whether the economy has recovered. But the picture given by our heat map is consistent with our outlook of a pick-up in non-oil growth this year to about 2.6%.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s driving the uptick? A fiscal stimulus by the government for the second consecutive year; a smaller drag from monetary policy following the Fed\u2019s pause; and improved private consumption as the impact of the measures taken last year diminishes.<\/p>\n<p>The economy might be showing signs of recovery, but it\u2019s still a long way short of the growth rates achieved during the oil-boom of 2004-13, which averaged 7.7% a year. And growth remains mainly driven by an oil-financed fiscal stimulus rather than the private sector.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>Building the heat map<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We constructed our heat map using seven indicators: the Emirates NBD PMI survey, cement consumption, money supply (M3), ATM cash withdrawals, value of cheques cleared, points of sale transactions and equity prices (a measure of household wealth).<\/p>\n<p>We deflated all but the first two variables using the consumer price index and then calculated year-on-year growth rates. We lag real stock market returns by two quarters in the heat map &#8212; recent\u00a0research by the IMF\u00a0shows it as a leading, not a coincident indicator.<\/p>\n<p>All variables are transformed to GDP-equivalent units, so the numbers shown in the heat map represent year-on-year non-oil GDP growth implied by each variable. These are calculated using bivariate regressions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n
