6 WHY INVEST IN DUBAI Highly liquid property market Logistically, it s very easy and relatively inexpensive to invest in property in Dubai, whilst the following points ensure the property market remains highly liquid: Some of the highest rental yields in the world Strong capital appreciation Readily-available financing options Zero tax Ease of business set up Free Zones give companies 100% foreign ownership; exemption from all import duties; 100% repatriation of capital and profits; and freedom from corporate taxation. Safe and very sound UAE is the second safest place in the world in which to live, just behind Finland. Open and free system Open economic policies, minimal government control and private sector regulation have played an instrumental role in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). World-class infrastructure Dubai s vision to invest heavily in its transport, telecommunications and industrial infrastructure also make it an attractive destination for international businesses Strategic location Dubai sits at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. Stable currency The UAE dirham being pegged to the long-established and globally recognised US dollar means the value of the currency has enjoyed balance and growth, as well as stability to the import and export trade.
