                As mentioned earlier, the number of locally incorporated commercial
             banks stood at 23 during 2011, whereas the number of their branches increased
             from 732 at the end of Dec. 2010 to 768 at the end of December 2011, and the
             number of their electronic/customer service units remained at 26. The ratio of
             nonperforming loans of national banks stood at 6.2% in 2011, a sharp increase
             from 2008 precrisis levels, whereas that of Dubai banks was higher at 10.6%.
             The stress tests showed that the domestic banking system could absorb a
             significant increase in nonperforming loans.
                                                                     43
