UAE nationals now comprise 31.8% of the country's banking sector's workforce, according to Sultan Bin Nasser Al Suwaidi, governor of the UAE Central Bank. A 1998 law required an increase in the employment of nationals by banks operating in the UAE by 4% annually. As a result, the number of UAE nationals working in the country's banking sector have jumped from 3,700 in December 2002 to 10,218 in December 2007, reported Gulf News.
