Right now, Dubai is strongly positioned to play a bigger role in Arab economy in the wake of wave of change that is sweeping across North Africa and the Middle East.
During the last decade Dubai has developed and currently represents a great business package for international companies and investors. It offers a world-class infrastructure, stable governance and is in close proximity to key markets, with easy accessibility to the world. These are critical factors that will make Dubai the obvious choice for the global community looking to work and invest in the region from now on.
Opportunities arise from crises! Brands as CNN and Burger King emerged in years of financial crisis and civil unrest. Investors, individual and corporate, should position their portfolios early in order to benefit from the next economic cycle.
The current civil unrest across the Arab world means rapidly changing investment conditions and enormous new opportunities for development and growth.
The fundamental changes, such as reshufeling governments and announcing plans for injecting billions in the Gulf economies in near future promise lucrative business and investment opportunities.
Right now, UAE business environment will be naturally affected by the social unrest in the region. As the Dubai ports are major distribution hubs for the region, shipments will be reduced or canceled, tourism and transit traffic at airports is already suffering. However, UAE is a major oil producer and the higher price of oil will boost revenues very considerably.
International investors and companies looking forward to take positions or expand in the region should take early positions.
