Working in Dubai

Dubai’s low operational costs and excellent infrastructure, international outlook and liberal government policies continue to attract increasing multinational presence and steady foreign investment inflow. Activities such as trade, transport, tourism, industry and finance have shown steady growth and helped the economy to achieve a high degree of expansion and diversification.

This is a modern, bustling metropolis and the nerve-centre of trade and commerce in the economically vibrant Arab Gulf region. By 2010, the emirate of Dubai can be compared to a developed nation on the strength of a diversified non-oil economy with a annual GDP of US$ 30 billion and a per capita GDP of US$ 23,000, with annual GDP growth of over 6 per cent.

A cosmopolitan city with a thriving hospitality industry and a liberal outlook, Dubai has positioned itself as a strategic springboard to the US $300 billion Middle East consumer market.
