This Doctorate research proposal examines the financial sustainability of the United Arab Emirates, particularly focusing on the government's public debt during economic slowdowns. The study analyzes the impact of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis on the UAE, highlighting the country's vulnerability due to its dependence on oil exports and foreign investment. The proposal outlines the rationale, aims, and objectives, which include identifying government policies related to financial sustainability and minimizing public debt. It details the research design, methodology (secondary data analysis), and ethical considerations. The assumed outcomes anticipate the impact of pro-cyclical fiscal policies and the importance of diversifying the economy. The proposal also discusses the expected timescale and implications of the study, emphasizing the need for a knowledge-based economy and the development of local financial markets to mitigate risks. The research aims to contribute to a better understanding of economic policies and their impact on the UAE's financial stability.
