Increasing number of expatriate population has
infused an improved growth in the used car
market, which is regarded as a driving force for
the markets growth in the coming
years. Government initiatives to promote the use
of electric cars as a step to reduce the fuel
emissions is expected to raise the demand for car
finance within the country. Rising value of used
cars is expected to increase the amount of credit
disbursed for used car finance.

Though at a slow pace, the UAE car finance market
is anticipated to recover during the forecast
period 2017-2021, from the fall in the credit
disbursement that has been observed towards the
end of the review period. Real time deposit rates
have been negative since 2013 and the major
factor that discourages people from depositing in
banks is the low interest rates. The banks are
expected to focus more on consolidation rather
than growth and be more cautious in consumer
lending such as personal and car loans. Further,
the credit worthiness of the applicant is assumed
to be strictly assessed with the help of the
credit bureau, before lending. Hence, the rate of
rejections is expected to rise in near future.
Car finance has become extremely competitive in
recent years, to the point where it is almost a
loss-leader for some financial institutions. With
so low margins and the higher processing costs
associated with car loans, interest rates are
more likely to rise in the coming years. The
introduction of value added tax in 2018 and the
liquidity crunch in the country is expected to
affect the car sales, reducing the demand for car
finance.

• However, UAEs economic growth is expected to
  accelerate from the year 2017 by more than 4 a
  year until 2020, owing to the new projects
  underway driven by real estate, transport and
  power projects. The economic growth is expected
  to increase the household spending and improve
  the standard of living, increasing the demand for
  cars thereby increasing demand for car finance.
• Ken Research in its latest study, UAE Car Finance
  Market Outlook to 2021 observed that the
  introduction of Al Etihad Credit Bureau by the
  Central Bank of UAE will enable the banks to
  assess the creditworthiness of their prospective
  customers and to prevent the risk of credit loss,
  provided that the measures are properly
  implemented. To withstand competition in the
  market, many players are in plans to introduce
  more bundling options in loans. For banks, car
  loans are a more attractive proposition when it
  is packaged with a suite of other products that
  cater to multiple customer requirements.
