Dubai, with the other Emirates, is the employment hub for the

region, with rising levels of demand for consumer goods driving

demand for more Sales & Marketing and Supply Chain

professionals across the Gulf region. Rising levels of demand

within both the green and traditional energy sectors also mean

a growth in opportunities for Power Generation professionals.

Inward and local investment in sectors such as FMCG,

packaging and chemicals is creating demand for Manufacturing

professionals, especially those with knowledge of techniques

such as Six Sigma, as well as Accountants.

With many new projects announced recently, there is a

significant demand for professionals in the Construction and Oil

& Gas industries, with Iraq particularly short of oil industry

specialists.

With the three main credit ratings agencies improving their

ratings, the high level of business activity and improvements in

balance sheets and liquidity, confidence is high in the Banking

& Financial Services sector.

In 2014 we expect to see an increase of 8% to 10% in the

number of job opportunities across all industry sectors and

salaries rising in the range 6% to 8%. Less easy to predict is

the change in the cost of living over the coming years, although

it is safe to say that in many countries “the only way is up”,

putting pressure on employers and presenting candidates with

some tough choices. However, Morgan McKinley will as ever

be well placed to advise on important issues such as local

accommodation and schooling.

We hope you find the insights presented in this report

interesting and useful, and welcome any feedback.

MANAGING

DIRECTOR’S

LETTER.

This guide provides insights into salary trends in key

disciplines and professional communities within the

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, based on

what we have observed over the past year, together

with a compilation of hard facts and figures on gross

salaries.

Morgan McKinley’s UAE operation is focused on

sourcing talent for mid-management and senior roles

for Banking & Financial Services, Accountancy &

Finance, Energy, Sales & Marketing ,Supply Chain,

Manufacturing, Construction, and Office Support

throughout the GCC.

The GCC is one of the most economically dynamic

regions in the world, with the UAE leading the way

across the Gulf region and this is very much reflected

in the buoyancy of the recruitment market and the

resultant hiring trends.

In our last report we reported that “reverberations from

the Eurozone crisis led to a subdued recruitment drive

among UAE-based multinationals in 2012” but

commented that there were signs of returning

confidence. We predicted an upward trend.

Results from 2013 have vindicated this positive

outlook.

The UAE returned to growth in 2013 and this growth

looks certain to accelerate in 2014, with a renewed

focus on the infrastructure, tourism and construction

sectors, especially in light of the news that Dubai will

host Expo 2020.

HIRING TRENDS

2013 was an interesting year as far as

hiring trends are concerned. Although

there have been significant growth

indicators, many banks have been

focused on corporate governance, with

large players aiming to protect

themselves against heavy fines from

regulators. There continues to be a need

to improve enterprise risk management,

internal controls and reporting and we

expect this trend to continue throughout

2014.

The growth in global Islamic finance also

looks set to continue, with global Islamic

commercial banking assets forecast to

exceed $2 trillion by 2014, according to

the World Islamic Economic Forum

(WIEF).

WIEF said the strong growth in Islamic

finance over the past decade had been

driven by innovations in the number and

range of Islamic financial products

available across the Middle East, Europe

and Asia, while increased interest in

Shariah-compliant banking would also

support this growth.

It added that Islamic banking assets in

the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)

region are expected to surpass $130

billion by end of the year.

THE MARKET

Foreign funds are flooding back to the

UAE’s stock markets, with inflows more

than trebling so far this year, as

positive Expo 2020 sentiment fuels

overseas interest.

Foreign institutional investors have

bought US$718.9 million worth of UAE

shares, up from $202.97m in the same

period last year.

2013 has been a recovery year; Dubai’s

bid for the Expo 2020 has played a big

role in the optimism in the market.

The MSCI in June announced it will

upgrade the UAE, and its three bourses,

to an emerging market in May 2014. The

index compiler, whose indexes are

tracked by investors with about $7 trillion

in assets, previously classified the

country as a frontier market.

The Abu Dhabi Securities

Exchange General Index has risen

45.6% so far this year, while the Dubai

Financial Market General Index has

surged 78.1% in the same period,

Bloomberg data shows.

SALARY & COMPENSATION TRENDS

2014 basic salaries are set to increase

between by around 6-8% with most

institutions recognising an increase in

living costs fuelled mainly by rising rents,

and with the market conditions improving

banks are keen to retain their best talent.

Overall 2014 will see an increase in

hiring and jobs created in the region and

this will also have the effect of increasing

salaries.

Banks are flush with liquidity post-crisis

and have been eager to lend. This has

created a demand for corporate bankers

who have a strong network, with a

specific focus on areas such as project

finance, structured and trade finance.

2013 also saw some high profile hires

with Shayne Nelson starting as the new

CEO at Emirates NBD from Standard

Chartered Bank and Alex Thursday

coming to NBAD as CEO from ANZ

Bank. This should bring in a new era for

both banks and we have already seen

some changes take hold. These are

ones to watch in 2014!
