From around Dhs1.09trn at the end of August 2011, total loans provided by the banks operating in the second largest Arab economy swelled to nearly Dhs1.1trn at the end of September, an increase of about 1.2% month-on-month and 3% since the end of 2011, the report showed. Lending also was up by around 2.6% year-on-year, indicating credit is gradually picking up in the UAE. But credit growth remained a fraction of the lending level during the boom years of 2007-2008, when it climbed by at least 30%.
