3 MANAGING DIRECTOR S LETTER. Welcome to Morgan McKinley s UAE Salary Guide 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. 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. Trefor Murphy Managing Director UAE T: +971 (0) [email protected] 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 Morgan McKinley has spent the past 16 years recruiting mid to senior professionals in the GCC market. 2

5 SUPPLY CHAIN & PROCUREMENT HIRING TRENDS The rejuvenated construction and infrastructure sector and the continuously growing FMCG, retail and healthcare sectors have been significant drivers of growth in the demand for Supply Chain & Procurement professionals. Multinationals and regional companies investing in manufacturing plants, building materials and utilities infrastructure throughout the Middle East and Africa will be particularly strong sources of demand. As a strategic hub for the MENA region, Dubai has seen a geographical expansion extending across to Sub- Saharan Africa, Central Russia, the Indian sub-continent and Turkey, with more organisations based here than in the past. This has also led to the recruitment of strategically minded professionals to help develop, lead and support the execution of organisation plans. TALENT SUPPLY Employees who have shown loyalty and developed careers within their organisations, especially in multinational environments, are making themselves more available to take advantage of the increasing demands in the market space. The UAE continues to provide a strong supply of talent for the GCC. Dubai is back on the market as one of the most sought-after expatriate destinations; there has been a significant increase in the number of Supply Chain & Procurement professionals based in Egypt and Europe who have relocated to the UAE. In particular, experienced candidates within FMCG and manufacturing sectors from Egypt have relocated to the region and will continue to look for opportunities primarily in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Multinational clients are still open to headhunting expatriate senior managers and directors but are more reluctant to do so than in the past, as more regionally experienced talent becomes available, particularly in the middle management range. SALARY & COMPENSATION TRENDS Salary levels in the GCC Supply Chain & Procurement community have increased by approximately 5-7% across the board. Multinational companies still remain the most competitive in attracting and retaining talent from the region and abroad. However, we have seen local and regional companies increase their salary packages in order to compete with multinationals while improving best practices and operational efficiencies. We anticipate salaries will increase in the coming year as the market has strong signs of growth with the announcement of Expo 2020 and other government and private sector strategies, mainly within the construction, consumer goods, healthcare and retail sectors, which are driving the economy. The property market has expanded this year and this trend is likely to continue, which will place further pressure on employers to increase salary packages and housing allowances in line with rental increases. 4
