Abu Dhabi ports have seen a 15.7% increase in non-oil trade during the second quarter of this year. Figures released by the emirate’s statistics centre show a surge in foreign demand for precious metals. It comes as analysts predict GCC economies to grow by 3.4% in 2015.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are less impacted, with strategies under way to promote non-oil trade.
