A surge in crude prices boosted the UAE's oil export revenues to an all time high of $70 billion (Dh257bn) in the first eight months of 2008 and the income could be close to $100bn through the year, according to Western estimates. The revenues from January to August were nearly $7bn higher than the country's total oil export earnings of $63bn in 2007. This means the UAE's eight-month revenues this year leaped by a staggering 75 per cent over the similar period of 2007.
