UAE stocks fell in the beginning of trading today, topping the declines of the Gulf stock exchanges, as the general index of the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange fell by 3.1 per cent, and the Dubai Financial Market Index fell 1.59 per cent. Yesterday, "Emirates Airlines", one of the largest airlines that organize long-distance trips in the world, said that it will stop this week almost all passenger transport flights and reduce the salaries of its employees by half due to the decrease in the demand for travel due to the corona rampage. On Sunday, the UAE shares suffered the largest losses in the Gulf, after the general index of Abu Dhabi market declined by 3.61%, and the Dubai Financial Market Index decreased by 2.05%. Standard & Poor's, the global credit rating agency, said in a report last February that Dubai's hospitality sector was the most exposed to risk in the Gulf region.
