The Central Bank of the UAE, CBUAE, announced that during October 2019, total bank deposits increased by AED 17.8 billion, attributable to an AED 1.9 billion increase in Resident Deposits and an AED 15.9 billion increase in Non-Resident Deposits.
The Money Supply aggregate M1 decreased by 1.2 percent, from AED 511.9 billion at the end of September 2019 to AED 505.7 billion at the end of October 2019, said the CBUAE in its monthly report on Monetary & Banking Developments for October 2019.

M3 increased due to an increased M2, overshadowing an AED 10.4 billion fall in Government Deposits,'' the report noted The report indicated that gross bank assets, including bankers’ acceptances, rose by 0.6 percent, increasing from AED 3022.7 billion at the end of September 2019 to AED 3040.6 billion at the end of October 2019.
