The UAE's exit from OPEC may be less about oil and more about where Abu Dhabi sees its future.
0:06
The UAE wants to capitalize on its reserves while it still can and use
0:10
that wealth to accelerate growth beyond energy.
0:13
The quotas were becoming a bit of an irritant for Abu Dhabi.
0:17
The strategy now is to use oil to become a post oil economy.
0:22
Some of the fastest growing sectors of the economy here are in areas like
0:25
tourism and aviation and logistics and advanced manufacturing, for example.
0:30
Then came the war in Iran.
0:32
Iran attacking eight Gulf states, retaliating against US and Israel...
0:36
On February 28, the US and Israel launched widescale coordinated air strikes on Iranian
0:42
targets, triggering a wider regional conflict.
0:45
Iran targeted Emirati territory directly. They sent smoke over Dubai's skyline.
0:50
Abu Dhabi really absorbed those attacks largely alone.
0:54
Sitting over the table with Iran in OPEC, perhaps they're finding that more and more difficult.
1:00
The UAE aligned very closely with the US and Israel at the onset of the war,
1:04
while Saudi Arabia has worked more quiet diplomatic channels, and
1:09
Riyadh has also come to view elements of that UAE alignment in poor light.
1:14
The gap between the UAE and Saudi Arabia,
1:16
OPEC's two biggest producers, also appears to be widening.
1:19
These are countries that are brothers and partners,
1:23
but it's also fair to say like most families, they have their differences.
1:26
What really looked like an unbreakable alliance a decade ago, has developed some fault lines.
1:31
More recently, these countries are on the opposite
1:34
sides of a growing list of pressure points, including Sudan and Yemen.
1:39
Which paves the way for stronger alliances outside OPEC.
1:42
The map is genuinely being redrawn. The UAE might actually reconsider
1:47
other regional memberships beyond OPEC as Abu Dhabi maps out its post-war future.
1:53
The UAE's bet now is that its future belongs in Washington's orbit, in the Abraham Accords
1:59
framework, and of course at the table of global tech and finance, not at the table of OPEC.
