What this value means
National headline only. Quote is page 9 of the CBUAE Quarterly Economic Review, June 2026 (PDF last-modified 2026-08-21). The catalog URL https://www.centralbank.ae/media/rafjunsc/qer_june_2026.pdf returned HTTP 404 on 2026-09-22; the same review is served at the ge5opjeq path. No later CBUAE quarterly was found. The same review gives more recent emirate prints (Abu Dhabi averaged 1.4% Y-o-Y in January-February 2026; Dubai averaged 3.7% Y-o-Y in January-April 2026) and a 2.3% forecast for 2026; those are not the national headline. FCSC and UAE.Stat returned HTTP 403 to this fetcher. A non-official wire claimed a January 2026 national print; it was not on an FCSC or CBUAE document and was not landed.
