UAE corporates led earnings growth in the GCC with a quarter-on-quarter jump of a staggering 17 times to $3 billion (Dh11bn) in Q1 2010 over Q4 2009, a new report said.
With their combined earnings jumping to $1.4bn in Q1 2010 – accounting for almost half the total corporate earnings in the country – UAE banks and financial services companies were key growth drivers, the report by Kuwait Financial Centre said.
