A recent report by Moody's confirmed that the United Arab Emirates is one of the Middle East's economies most resilient to the effects of the ongoing regional conflict. This is achieved through large financial reserves, economic diversification, and the presence of advanced energy and trade infrastructure, which mitigates the impact of any potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The report also noted that the emirate of Abu Dhabi (with an Aa2 stable rating), along with Qatar and Kuwait, possesses some of the largest government financial reserves in the region. This provides them with strong support to maintain financial stability even if the conflict continues for a long time.
