The country’s surplus stood at $16.1 billion last year.
Abdulla Al Saleh, director general at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, said non-oil exports in 2010 were set to jump 23 per cent from 2009 and re-exports were forecast to rise 13 per cent. UAE exports and re-exports totalled $209.6 billion last year.
“The exports include gold, diamonds, petrochemicals, aluminium and steel,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of a Turkish-Arab economic forum in Istanbul.
Imports were set to rise between seven per cent and 10 per cent, Saleh said, adding these included the import of machinery, agricultural products and cars.
Saleh said the figures were based on first-quarter performance.
