The head of the “W Capital” real estate brokerage  expected  the UAE will reap the benefits of the residency facilities granted to investors, foreign business owners or talents  and skillful workers.  “This year may witness good response to the new measures amid a massive influx of talent and investors while overcoming the risks of the “Covid-19″ pandemic, thanks to the government’s prompt response that helped overcoming health and economic repercussions,” he said.

3- An attractive investment environment

Al Zarooni stressed that the UAE is among the best markets for investment and business growth all over the world, thanks to continuous development of legislations and rules governing the relationship between all the parties in the economic system ,and ensuring rights and duties.

Year 2022 is the first year to start implementing the founding projects of the Dubai Urban Plan 2040, which aims to achieve sustainable urban development with a human focus, with a goal of improving the quality of life and enhancing the global competitiveness of the emirate.
