rom the visionary forefathers to the dynamic and keen leadership of today, a strong focus on economic diversification and enabling growth have been the cornerstones of Dubai’s economic policy. over the past few decades, Dubai has been able to create unique economic opportunities and attract the best of entrepreneurial and business leadership, with a strong and continued commitment to the free market, fair competition and economic diversification. In spite of the difficulties Dubai experienced due to the global downturn, its strategy of creating new opportunities through diversification has succeeded in bringing about economic prosperity and stability.

Economic activity and prosperity in Dubai has traditionally been centred on the trade, logistics and tourism sectors. These sectors still firmly remain the key drivers of the uAE’s economy, supported by an unrivalled infrastructure, global enterprises and a growing reputation as an international destination. Due to its close proximity to other global business markets and continents, Dubai’s role as a regional hub for business, finance, retail and tourism is one of the main reasons it spearheads economic growth in the uAE. The government is making remarkable strides in promoting economic diversification and sustainable, long-term investments.

The city is geared towards helping companies prosper with businessfriendly laws, modern infrastructure and a diverse and predominantly young workforce.

The shipping and logistics sector has played a leading role in the growth of Dubai’s economy. For centuries Dubai has been known as a city of merchants and in the past half-century, the emirate has become a re-export hub for the region, serving as a gateway between the Middle East and the world. An important step towards this has been the uAE’s entry into the ATA carnet system, which makes it easier to import goods for re-export.

This is a major boost for companies working in the sector.

Manufacturing has also been a strong leader in Dubai’s growth. The emirate’s manufacturing and industrial sector is dominated by sMEs (small and Medium Enterprises), which account for 95% of the enterprise population and 42% of the workforce. In fact, in the economy as

a whole, sMEs account for 40% of GDP. As a result, the government has made sME promotion a priority. Towards this, the emirate has launched the ‘Dubai sME 100’ initiative — a premiere ranking of Dubai’s 100 top performing sMEs. The Dubai sME 100 seeks to identify Dubai’s top sMEs that are role models the emirate can be proud of. More than just a ranking, the objective of Dubai sME 100 is to inspire willing and able sMEs that have the potential to be world-class enterprises to invest in innovation and people in order to sustain growth. The ranking will also serve as a tool for helping sMEs identify capability gaps for improvement and attract the attention of investors. historically, Dubai has been an important regional emporium and remains so even today. The city’s Jebel Ali Port is one of the world’s largest trading hubs. The Dubai International Financial centre (DIFc) is an offshore free zone designed to make Dubai a world-class financial hub and has helped strengthen investment in the finance sector. The DIFc and other free zones in the city operate under a unique legal and regulatory framework,

and businesses operating within these can be wholly owned by foreign entities and benefit from zero income and profits tax. other free zones attracting foreign investors to Dubai include Dubai Internet city, home to giants such as Microsoft and IBM, and Dubai Media city, where cNN, the BBc and reuters all have offices. Dubai healthcare city, in collaboration with DuBiotech, was established to be a centre for worldclass medical practice and research excellence and is attracting investments from a number of different private clinical practices. In Dubai’s free zones overseas companies are permitted to set up wholly owned ventures and can enjoy an array of incentives in addition to the favourable investment conditions that prevail in Dubai.

The city’s aviation industry notched up another major milestone in January 2013 with the opening of concourse A at Dubai International Airport. concourse A is the world’s first purpose-built A380 facility in the world and will increase Dubai International Airport’s passengerhandling capacity to 75 million from the current 60 million.

rights of the prestigious world Expo 2020, it is indisputably the best qualified metropolis for this global event, which is billed as a platform for connectivity to help pioneer new partnerships for growth and sustainability for the future. The values and objectives of the world Expo remain strongly aligned with the unique characteristics of Dubai — a city that encapsulates the entrepreneurial dynamism and cosmopolitan spirit of the modern era. Its track record as one of the most preferred MIcE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) destinations, not only in the Middle East and North Africa region but even beyond, is unrivalled. Dubai is the bustling nerve centre of the Arab world’s second largest economy, the uAE, and one of the most sought-after shopping, conference and exhibition destinations in the world — wellconnected to the rest of the world by land, sea and air.

By keeping its streets safe, Dubai has become one of the most secure places in the world, which is a remarkable achievement given the rapid economic growth it has seen in the past few decades. A high standard of living, higher per capita income and dynamic society makes it a secure Middle Eastern destination. home to more than 2 million people, the expatriate population of the city helps to drive the local economy. over the years, one of Dubai’s main priorities has been to ensure both human rights and public safety. The emirate is keenly focused on improving the efficiency, transparency, and fairness of the justice system (both criminal and commercial) and updating contingency plans and regulations for disaster readiness and management.

In the light of the Arab spring and Eurozone crisis, Dubai has cemented its reputation as a safe

haven for investors. The emirate has made significant strides in moving to upgrade its legal and regulatory framework to ensure an investorfriendly business environment.

he uae is ranked the 26th easiest place to do business out of 185 countries worldwide on the World Bank’s Doing Business 2013 report. it was rated the fifth for the ease of trading across borders. the uae also ranked first in the region and fourth in the world in the ease of Doing Business index by the iMF. Dubai’s strategic location between east and West makes it a gateway to connect with emerging markets in asia, the Middle east and africa. “Dubai is the uae’s business hub and one of the most connected cities in the world. the uae is actively engaged around the world, trading with more than 220 countries and territories. it accounts for 1.3 per cent of global trade, a higher percentage than much larger, more populous countries,” said Hamad Buamim, Director-general of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and industry (DCCi). � With an open economy and businessfriendly environment, Dubai has attracted major multinationals to do business in its free zones and industrial cities. Business registration and licensing activity in 2012 mirrored an increasingly positive investor sentiment and expectations. While existing businesses in Dubai are venturing out and spreading their wings, a growing number of investors are also sensing the ideal conditions to step forward. today most of the major firms in the world have a base in the uae. the uae is home to 50 per cent of Fortune 500 companies, including about 70 per cent of the top 100 firms. the DMCC, master developer and licensing authority for the Jumeirah Lake towers free zone, said it registered 2,033 new members last year, bringing the total number of businesses to 5,720 by the end of 2012 that benefited from 100 per cent business ownership and zero corporate and personal income tax. the Dubai Chamber said its new membership grew 20 per cent to 12,733 in 2012, compared to 10,634 in 2011. On a monthly basis, the Dubai Department of economic Development (DeD) is recording an average of a thousand new registered companies in Dubai, excluding the free zone areas. Last year alone, Dubai recorded a 16 per cent increase in the number of new companies, which reached 16,688.

For a more transparent investment environment, the uae is expected to issue the Company Law and Bankruptcy Law that will outline business ownership and liquidity rules by the end of the

year. the DeD is constantly working to facilitate businesses in Dubai by upgrading its services to make it easier for end-users. today, there is no burden to issue a company licence in Dubai. all bureaucracy has been eliminated as business owners can now finalise most of their transactions online or through the business centre, saving a physical visit to the department. today, it does not take business owners more than three days to start-up their businesses officially in Dubai.

LegaL structures Federal Law no. 8 of 1984, as amended

by Federal Law no. 13 of 1988 – the Commercial Companies Law (CCL) – and its by-laws govern the operations of foreign business. in broad terms, the provisions of these regulations are as follows: • the Federal Law stipulates a total local equity of not less than 51 per cent in any commercial company and defines seven categories of business organisation that can be established in the uae.

• it sets out the requirements in terms of shareholders, directors, minimum capital levels and incorporation procedures. it further lays down provisions governing the conversion, merger and dissolution of companies.

Licensing the basic requirement for all business activity in Dubai is one of the following three categories of licences: • Commercial licences covering all kinds of trading activity • Professional licences covering professions, services, craftsmen and artisans • industrial licences for establishing industrial or manufacturing activity. these licences are issued by the DeD (with the exception of licences for hotels and other tourism-related businesses, which are issued by the Department of tourism and Commerce Marketing).

Licences for some categories of business require approval from certain ministries and other authorities: for example, banks and financial institutions from the Central Bank of the uae; insurance companies and related agencies from the Ministry of economy and Commerce; manufacturing from the Ministry of Finance and industry; and pharmaceutical and medical products from the Ministry of Health.

More detailed procedures apply to businesses engaged in oil or gas production and related industries. in general, all commercial and industrial businesses in Dubai should be

registered with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and industry.

Ownership requirements Currently, 51 per cent participation by uae nationals is the general requirement for all uae established companies except: • Where the law requires 100 per cent local ownership • in the Jebel ali and Dubai international airport free zones, and other special economic zones • in activities open to 100 per cent arabian gulf Co-operation Council (agCC) ownership • Where wholly owned agCC companies enter into partnership with uae nationals • in respect of foreign companies registering branches or a representative office in Dubai • in professional or artisan companies where 100 per cent foreign ownership is permitted.

the seven categOries Of business OrganisatiOn defined by the Law are: • general Partnership Company • Partnership-in-commendam (Simple Limited Partnership) • Joint Venture Company • Public Shareholding Company • Private Shareholding Company • Limited Liability Company • Partnership Limited with Shares

generaL partnership cOmpany a general partnership company is an arrangement between two or more partners whereby each of the partners are jointly liable to the extent of all their assets for the company’s liabilities. the CCL provides that only uae nationals are allowed to be partners in a general partnership.

partnership-incOmmendam the company’s liabilities, to the extent of all their assets, and one or more limited partners, are liable for the company’s liabilities to the extent of their respective shares in the capital only.

JOint venture cOmpanies a joint venture is a contractual agreement between a foreign party and a local party licensed to engage

in the desired activity. the local equity participation in the joint venture must be at least 51 per cent, but the profit and loss distribution can be prescribed. there is no need to license the joint venture or publish the agreement. the foreign partner deals with third parties under the name of the local partner who (unless the agreement is publicised) bears all liability. in practice, joint ventures are seen as offering a suitable structure for companies working together on specific projects.

pubLic and private sharehOLding cOmpanies the Law stipulates that companies engaging in banking, insurance or financial activities should be run as public shareholding companies.

ubai is strategically located between Europe, Africa and the Far East, acting as a gateway between producing and consuming countries for over 5 billion people . With some of the world’s leading multi-modal logistics capabilities, it is situated between more than 150 shipping lanes and is the third-largest shipping hub after Hong Kong and Singapore. By air, it is connected to over 200 destinations making Dubai International Airport one of the largest handlers of passengers.

In addition, approximately 6.6 billion people are within a 16-hour direct flight from Dubai, making travelling to Dubai for business easier and more efficient than ever.

Dubai’s unparalleled logistics capacity enables companies based in the Emirate to take advantage of the increasing trade between markets such as India, China and Africa. In fact, today, a third of all African imports come from China and those companies located in Dubai are at the centre of it all, perfectly positioned to capitalise on this trade.

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), also licensing authority of the Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) Free Zone, was created by Royal Decree

in 2002 to further leverage Dubai’s unique location and infrastructure by establishing Dubai as the global gateway for commodities trade. The JLT Free Zone has since grown to accommodate companies across all business sectors from across the globe due to its world-class physical and financial infrastructure, regulation and variety of products and services that enable businesses to operate and trade with confidence.

Benefits from operating at the JLT Free Zone include 100% business ownership, 0% corporate and personal income tax and freehold and leasehold commercial and residential property.

The Free Zone is not just a business destination, it is also a vibrant residential lakefront community with over 55,000 people working and living across 64 residential and commercial (mixed-use) towers and over 6,300 businesses. In 2012, DMCC registered 2,033 new companies, 94% of which were also new to Dubai. Out of the 2,033 registrations in 2012, 9% are from the Americas; 30% from Europe; 11% from the GCC; 8% from Africa; 42% from Asia and Australasia.

The key to JLT’s success is its focus on ensuring that member companies can conduct their business safely

and efficiently in the free zone. For example, in order to better meet the needs of the increasing number of new and prospective clients, last December, DMCC divided its Client Service Centre into two operations; one solely dedicated to new clients (which allows for faster and more efficient registration for new members) and the other for renewal and other services.

Nurturing both trade and community living, JLT is one of the fastest growing free zones in the UAE, offering all businesses, whether start-ups or large multi-nationals, a one-stop-shop service that makes setting up a base in Dubai simple and cost effective.

With 2,033 new companies having joined the free zone in 2012 - from renowned financial institutions such as ABN AMRO Bank’s International Diamond & Jewellery Group; well known retail brands such as Dunkin’ Donuts, Guerlain (LVMH Group), Vertu and Burger Fuel; hospitality groups such as Kempinski Hotels SA; international logistics companies such as Pacific Gulf Shipping Co., and GAC; and energy companies such as ENI - which is a 50% increase from the 1,362 members that joined in 2011, it’s clear that Dubai’s global relevance for business and trade continues to grow.

Keeping pace with the booming international trade, the emirate is geared up for smooth and effective operations whether for passengers or cargo.

DUbai international ranked as the world’s third busiest airport in terms of international passengers by the airports Council International (aCI), today more than 150 airlines fly to over 220 destinations across six continents from dubai International. With one third of the world’s population just four hours flying time away from dubai and 80 per cent of the world’s population located 12 hours away, dubai International’s traffic has tripled in the past eight years.

Passenger traffic surged 13 per cent to 57.6 million in 2012. aviation represents $22 billion (dhs80.91 billion) — or 28 per cent of dubai’s economy — and is a major driver of the emirate’s economic growth. by 2020 some 98.5 million passengers and over four million tonnes of air freight will pass through dubai International and the upcoming dubai World Central airports. the fleets and networks of emirates and flydubai (the government

of dubai’s budget airline; it is also the world’s fastest growing start-up airline) will grow considerably to accommodate traffic and capture market share. together with the expected expansion of services operated by the 150 airlines that fly into dubai, dubai airports forecasts a cumulative annual growth rate of 7.2 per cent. to keep up with the demand, the world’s most significant airline and airport expansion program, the Strategic Plan 2020, has been under taken in dubai. SP 2020 is dubai airports’ $7.8 billion 10-year master plan, which outlines aggressive expansion plans for airspace, airfield, stands and terminal areas at dubai International. the recently opened Concourse a is a vital element of this plan, which will see dubai International become the world’s busiest airport for international passenger traffic by the end of 2015. built at a cost of $3.2 billion, Concourse a (Ca) covers a sprawling 528,000sqm across 11 floors. It features 20 aircraft contact gates, all capable of accommodating the a380 (two of these gates can handle b777 aircraft), in addition to 13 remote stands. In just its first month of operations, Concourse a handled 461,972 pieces of luggage carried on more than 2450 flights serving 589,234 passengers.

It is envisioned that Concourse a is going to increase dubai International airport’s passenger-handling capacity to 75 million from the current 60 million. Concourse a itself has an annual handling capacity of 19 million passengers per year.

8,198 in 2011. “less than three years after its opening dubai World Central (dWC) is fast emerging as a significant cargo airport in the region,” said Paul griffiths, dubai airport’s chief executive officer. “that emergence is set to continue as airlines take advantage of the airport’s facilities, road feeder service to dubai International and bonded link to the Jebel ali port.” dWC’s success is largely due to the fact that it has more than 30 carriers on its books – predominantly as cargo charter operations – and of these, 15 are scheduled services. the flexibility in operations at dubai World Central continues to attract new cargo operators, with eight new airlines launching services to the airport during 2012, including Zetavia, abakan-avia, Silk Way airlines, Khatlon air, Sakavia Services, Iran aseman, Vision airlines and Saudi arabian. an increasing amount of dubai airports’ total cargo is projected to be handled at dubai World Central in the years ahead with cargo volumes for both airports projected to top three million tonnes by 2015. emirates will also transfer its cargo fleet from dubai International airport to dubai World Central airport (dWC) by 2025, announced president tim Clark recently. a truck system will be established between the two airports to handle emirates’ belly cargo from its passenger aircraft and vice versa.

Jebel ali port Jebel ali Port is the world’s largest man-made harbour and the biggest port in the Middle east. It is dP World’s flagship seaport and the most vital facilitator of trade in the region, playing a key role in the region’s economy. ranked among the top 10 container ports worldwide, the port continues to be at the forefront of the industry and the region. the year 2013 is also

a milestone year for Jebel ali Port as it marked the handling of 100 million containers in 10 years (2003–2013).

Currently Jebel ali Port’s terminal 2 is undergoing an ambitious expansion, which which also includes the construction of a brand new $850 million terminal 3. the expansion plan passed the halfway mark in october last year. together, the two terminals will take the total capacity at the port to 19 million teu (20-foot equivalent container units) by 2014, dP World said in a statement, adding that the expansion of terminal 2, which will add 1 million teu capacity, is on schedule to open in the first half of 2013, with 60 per cent of construction work completed. Meanwhile, work has also begun on the new 4 million teu capacity terminal 3, set to open in 2014, the company said. the new t3 will be “one of the finest modern” marine terminals in the world, with a quay length of 1,860m, a a 70ha storage yard, and a draft of 17m. the t2 expansion will allow the simultaneous handling of six 15,000 teu mega ships.these developments will eventually translate into Jebel ali being able to handle 10 of the next generation

18,000 teu mega vessels at the same time, making it the only port in the region able to do so.

In 2011, Jebel ali Port was honoured with the prestigious golden award for best Seaport overall from the higher Committee for uae Civil Seaports and airports Security, which praised Jebel ali Port for its committed adherence to national security requirements, as well as implementation of the International Ship and Port facility Security (ISPS) Code drawn up by the International Maritime organisation to enhance security of ships and port facilities. this year, dP World welcomed shipping line Simatech’s new service between Jebel ali Port and Mogadishu as a significant step in re-establishing trade links between Somalia and the rest of the world. the newly commenced container service will provide customers with safe and faster cargo movement including faster transit times.

city with the 52km red line that runs from rashidiya to Jebel ali and the 23.9km green line that runs from al Qusais to Jadaf. More than 367 million people used public transport in dubai last year, according to figures released by the roads and transport authority (rta). early this year, the rta announced a massive expansion plan for dubai’s rail network with the red and green lines extended, new lines added and with connections to the proposed etihad rail network across the gulf countries. the new rail routes will extend for a distance of 421km with 197 stations; the expansion in three phases and is expected to be complete by 2030. three new Metro lines — blue, gold and Purple — and a Jumeirah tram route will be added while the current red and green lines will grow longer and will serve a growing population in the densely populated urban areas of dubai. In the first phase, train projects along a 24.1-km long corridor with 12 stations will be completed. the green line will extend from Jaddaf to dubai academic City with 11 stations, a distance of 20.6km. once the first phase of the extension is complete, dubai’s train network will stretch 109km

26 | 2013 – 2014

over 70 stations. Work on the second phase comprising the gold, Jumeirah tram and the Purple lines is expected to commence in 2025 and will extend for 91km and 58 stations. It will cost an estimated dhs45 billion. When phase two is complete, the overall train network is likely to be 200km long with 128 stations. an assessment of the completed projects will be made in 2030 and depending on the success of the infrastructure upgrades and passenger response, work on the final phase will begin. If dubai’s population crosses six million, another 221km of lines with 69 stations will be added. this will extend the entire network to 421km with 197 stations.

CrUisinG aheaD dubai has emerged as the destination of choice for many global cruise providers such as royal Caribbean International, Costa Cruises and aIda Cruises, who are now using the emirate as a regional hub for their operations, significantly boosting the growth of the region’s cruise tourism. dubai also serves as the home port for Costa and aIda Cruises. dubai Cruise terminals received over 390,000 passengers from 102 ship calls last season and the current

2012/2013 season will bring 115 cruise ship calls and over 410,000 passengers. the initiatives and continual efforts of dtCM have reaffirmed dubai’s position as the cruise hub of the region. a combination of highly favourable factors are driving the robust growth of dubai’s cruise tourism. besides the obvious attractions that dubai has to offer for tourists from around the world in the form of excellent air connectivity, good infrastructure, a multimodal transport system, world-class hotels and restaurants, vast stretches of sandy beaches, sprawling shopping malls and an array of outdoor activities, dubai offers simple immigration formalities and customised operation procedures in a safe environment. dubai has been constantly enhancing its facilities and services in line with its business growth and accordingly dubai Cruise terminals will have three dedicated facilities to cater to cruise lines and visitors this season.

Spanning over 20,000 m2 and with a pier of 1900m, which can conveniently accommodate up to six ocean-going ships simultaneously, dubai will have the largest facility in the Middle east dedicated to cruise tourism.

Business Practices

Business Practices Dubai has a number of measures in place that boost the transparency of its legal framework

accountancy

taxation

federal law no. 22 of 1995 governs the registration of accountants and auditors in the uae. there is no local professional body of accountants but many of the large international accountancy firms have regional offices in Dubai. under federal law no. 13 of 1988, all commercial companies are required to keep financial records, while federal law no. 18 of 1993 specifies the various books and records that must be kept by traders.

there is no corporate tax in Dubai, except for oil companies and branches of foreign banks. personal incomes, including all forms of salary and capital gains wherever arising, are not subject to taxation in Dubai and the other emirates.

trademarks and Patents three uae federal laws cover the protection of industrial and intellectual property. they are: federal law no. 37 of 1992 on trademarks, federal law no.

40 of 1992 on protection of intellectual property and copyright, and federal law no. 44 of 1992 on protection of industrial property.

Banking and finance at the end of 2011 there were 904 domestic banks including 768 branches, 23 head offices, 87 pay offices and 26 electronic banking services units; and 162 foreign banks including 82 branches and 28 head offices. in the uae, the marketing of financial products and services is regulated by the uae central bank under federal law no. 10 of 1980 (the central bank law and related banking resolutions). enforcement of central bank policy, however, is often undertaken by the local licensing authorities of the emirate.

difc courts the Difc courts is an independent court system that provides the protection of a common law court system. its internationally renowned bench of judges is proficiently versed in commercial disputes and ensure transparent and efficient justice in civil and commercial matters in or relating to the centre. the Difc courts are the only courts in the uae that conduct legal proceedings in english.

exchange control there are no exchange controls in the uae and the national currency, the uae dirham (Dhs/aeD), is freely convertible. the dirham is linked to the us dollar, the currency by which oil prices are measured. the exchange rate has remained fixed at Dhs3.67 = us$1 since 1977.

28 | 2013 – 2014

trade regulations and Practices

land ownershiP foreign companies and individuals are generally not permitted to own land or real estate for business purposes in Dubai. all property must be rented or leased for the purposes of running a business, except in the free zones – Dubai internet city, Dubai media city, Dubai gold and Jewellery park and Dubai marina among others – or any other places where special concessions are available.

legal system a comprehensive framework of legislation ensures that business in the uae is conducted in a fair and orderly manner, with laws covering commercial transactions, intellectual property, labour and other sectors. Dubai has many local and international law firms that can advise foreign business organisations on legal matters. Dubai’s court of first instance handles civil and criminal cases as well as personal status cases (e.g. wills, divorces, etc) of muslims.

the uae is a member of the world trade organization (wto). only importers with appropriate trade licences can undertake imports into Dubai. import duties have been largely standardised at 4%, but there are many exemptions, including food, building materials, medical products and any item destined for the Jebel ali and airport free zones.

Visa regulations if your country of nationality appears on the eligible country list, no advance visa arrangements are required to visit the uae. simply disembark from your flight at Dubai international and proceed to immigration, where your passport will be stamped with a 30-day visit visa. the 30-day visa will cost Dhs100 and can be extended for an additional 30 days at an additional charge. Visit the DnrD website (www. dnrd.ae) for more details.

UAE EmploymEnt REGUlAtIonS

uae emPloyment regulations Dubai’s employment regulations are on a par with international stanDarDs

laBour law all matters relating to labour in Dubai and the rest of the uae are governed by the uae federal law no. 8 of 1980 regulating labour relations, as amended by federal laws no. 24 of 1981, no. 15 of 1985 and no. 12 of 1986 (the ‘law’). in addition there are special labour regulations applicable in the Dubai free zones. the law covers most aspects of an employer—employee relationship including salaries, working hours, leave, termination of contract, medical care and end of service benefits. according to article 3 of the law, the labour law applies to all staff and employees working in the uae, including nationals and expatriates. however, there are certain categories exempt from the law, including all federal and government personnel, the armed forces, domestic workers and certain agricultural employees. the uae does not allow the formation of trade unions, and strikes and lockouts are forbidden. as of January 2011, the ministry of labour issued a new ordinance

that limited the setting up of private insurance agencies only to uae nationals. it also stipulated that every partner and signatory in an employment agency must be an emirati national in order to be eligible for a licence. as the law is federal, it is applicable to all of the seven emirates and is enforced by the ministry. in disputes between employer and employee, or in the interpretation of the labour law, the ministry of labour and social affairs will initially act as an adjudicator. if either party is unhappy with the decision, the dispute may then be referred by the ministry to the court.

working hours and holidays according to uae law, the general working day is eight hours per day, or 48 hours a week. the number of hours per day can be increased to nine hours per day for those working in a number of industries, as decreed by the minister of labour and social affairs: this includes those employed in the retail trade, hotels, restaurants and other similar service establishments.

conversely, the minister of labour and social affairs may resolve to reduce the amount of working hours in the case of arduous or health-hazardous work. in general, businesses work either a straight shift (8.30am to 6pm) or a split-shift (8am to 1pm and 4pm to 7pm). in practice, commercial and professional firms work an average of 45 hours a week and government ministries about 35 hours. there are 10 paid public holidays in any year. the employee’s annual leave is two days for every month if his or her service is more than six months and less than a year. after every completed 12 months of service, an employee is entitled to 30 days of paid annual leave. this is in addition to public holidays, sick leave and maternity leave for women. as in all muslim countries, friday is the day of rest. most companies have come to recognise the benefit of a two-day weekend and follow the government working week of sunday to thursday. however, banks continue to open six days a week and are closed only on friday. During the holy month of ramadan, normal working hours are reduced by two or more hours per day. overtime is paid to manual and lower-ranking staff, but in the private sector overtime is expected as and when required and will generally be written into an employment contract.

emPloying staff in order to employ any expatriate in the uae, an application must be made to the ministry and all new businesses are required to register or open a file with the ministry before employing staff. in addition, there is a requirement for some employers to submit a bank guarantee to the ministry for employees’ end of service benefits and repatriation costs. this procedure is also applicable to employers in most of the uae free zones.

World Expo 2020

WORLD EXPO 2020: DUBAI’S BID Winning the expo 2020 bid Will have a far-reaching impact on dubai’s economy, accelerating groWth, creating jobs and boosting opportunities for the emirate’s main business sectors

T

he uae is bidding to host the World expo 2020 in dubai under the theme “connecting minds, creating the future”. if the emirate wins the bid, this will be the first time in the history of the event that the World expo will be held in the middle east, africa and south east asia region. Winning the expo 2020 bid will have a far reaching impact on dubai’s economy with over 25 million visitors expected to attend the six-month expo. dubai expo 2020 will see the emirate become a platform for connectivity, which will help pioneer new partnerships for growth and sustainability for the future. it will seek out and attract forward thinkers and innovators to showcase great achievements, to promote new models for growth, to advance new ideas for connectivity and to share roadmaps for progress.

VENUE the proposed site for World expo 2020 dubai will be dubai trade centre – jebel ali: a 438 hectare site on the southwestern edge of dubai. equidistant from the centres of abu dhabi and dubai, the site is located next to the new al maktoum international airport and is also in close proximity to jebel ali port, the third busiest port in the world. the chosen site is one of the largest ever earmarked for an expo world fair, able to cater for 247 participants and over 25 million visitors. the site will also have easy access to several of the city’s main expressways, including shaikh Zayed road and the dubai bypass road. the logistical advantages of the jebel ali site are clear for both exhibitors – bringing in materials and constructing pavilions – and visitors. the venue for expo 2020 will cost dubai a total of dh14.7 billion, and is expected to attract more than 25 million visitors over six months.

RICH RETURNS FOR BUSINESSES the expo is expected to increase dubai’s gdp by {euro sign} 28.8 billion and add {euro sign} 17.7 billion (dh86.2 billion) to its economy, according to the expo 2020 organisers. With a resilient economy and an infrastructure that is second to none, the uae is arguably the most competitive nation bidding for expo 2020. dubai’s focus on competitiveness and sustained investment in infrastructure has produced rich returns for its businesses. various business start-ups, growing links to new markets and growth options in the emirate are attracting more investors to leverage these advantages. in 2012, dubai witnessed an increased confidence from investors. business registration and licensing activity, last year, mirrored an increasingly positive

investor sentiment and expectations.

While existing businesses in dubai expanded, a growing number of investors also stepped forward. today most of the major firms in the world have a base in the uae. moreover, a high proportion of multinationals have sited their regional headquarters in the emirate. there are almost 300,000 companies registered in dubai so far. each month, the dubai economic department (ded) has registered an average of a 1,000 new companies in dubai, excluding the free zone areas. last year alone, dubai recorded 16 per cent increase in the number of new companies, which reached 16,688. this focus on business and legal infrastructure development has supported the country’s growth over four decades, and will be key to its global competitiveness.

2020 in terms of passenger throughput. once fully developed, dWc airport will have five runways and the ability to handle 160 million passengers per annum and 12 million tonnes of freight. similarly, airlines also play a vital role in making dubai an international hub. for instance, emirates currently has 198 aircraft flying to 129 destinations, and plays a crucial role in the emergence of the uae as an international hub for trade, tourism and commerce. in terms of its ability to connect the world, no other international operator can offer similar services . even relatively new players in the market, such as dubai’s budget carrier, flydubai, is gearing up for the 2020 event. having launched operations with two aircraft in june 2009, the carrier currently has a fleet of 28 boeing 737-800 aircraft. and it has more than doubled the number of destinations from 25 to 52 in the past two years. “the commitment and clarity of vision from the uae’s leaders has created the right environment to enable the uae’s aviation sector to flourish. We have an aviation hub that rivals the longer established air transport centres and offers a level of service that is emulated around the world. as a result, the aviation sector has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the emirate’s economy, contributing to 30 per cent of dubai’s gdp,” said ghaith al ghaith, ceo, flydubai. at the venue itself, dubai plans to build an underground railway system to connect the inner pavilions with the outer pavilions. there are also plans to expand the dubai metro.

IDEAL HOST CITY Keeping all factors in mind, it is clearly evident that dubai is the most ideal host city for the colossal global gathering. in february this year, the delegation representing the bureau international des expositions (bie), the body responsible for World expo, visited dubai to evaluate the emirate’s bid. steen christiansen, chairman of the bie executive committee, said: “We have had a productive and enjoyable visit to the uae and thank the leadership for their hospitality.

We have been particularly impressed by the country’s robust infrastructure and the level of national support for the bid.”

10 BUSINESS IDEAS FOR 2013 If you are thInkIng of startIng a new busIness, here are 10 busIness Ideas we thInk are poIsed for success In 2013

HOmE RENOvAtION

while the real estate market is gradually picking up, people who can’t buy a new home are looking for ways to spruce up their current residences. this means that specialised home-renovation companies are again thriving. from flooring to roofing, homeowners are looking to do a little repair and updating. anyone starting a home-renovation business should be warned, however, to start small and grow as you go. one nonpaying customer could be the end of an overextended business in this touchand-go economy.

LOcAL FARmINg

people are increasingly conscious about eating healthy and eating local. for many, however, locally grown produce and local meat, milk and eggs are hard to find. urban and suburban backyard farming has already staged a comeback. now, it’s time for the small-time commercial farmer. farming is never going to be easy. but a combination of sophisticated marketing skills and modern farming techniques could position you to ride the local- and organic-eating wave.

SmALL-BIz SOcIAL mEDIA

big-business owners are already capitalising on the power of social media, but it’s the small businesses that are still figuring the way ahead. Most socialmedia consultancies are expensive, and small businesses are shy of them. a social media consultant who could offer an a la carte menu of reasonably priced services to local businesses that have yet to embrace facebook, twitter and LinkedIn would be the toast of their virtual town.

EDUcAtION cONSULtANt

college isn’t as simple as it used to be. now, parents and prospective students have to wade through a long list of academic choices, including four-year colleges, two-year colleges, online courses, for-profit colleges and trade schools. as education offerings keep expanding and changing, busy parents need some help figuring out how to navigate the higher-education waters. a consultant with a background in education who can simplify the process is the need of the day.

as businesses are expanding into new regions, they are looking for novel ways to connect with their customers, but many miss the mark when it comes to connecting culturally. research from direct advertising firm accurateLeads found that many companies fail at reaching customers because they don’t take the time to know that audience. to reach those targeted shoppers, businesses must recognise the places where the consumer resides and design a specific message not just for one

following a decline during the recession, translation services are poised for renewed growth. according to research, the Internet has been instrumental in increasing demand for translators, because businesses moving into new countries use services to adapt websites and marketing materials to the new region. the study shows that as companies once again focus on international growth over the next five years, they will turn to the translation industry to provide localisation services. this need has created an opening for dual-language speakers with the ability to interpret speech from one language to another. specific services they can provide include document translation and the translation of website information into languages for use in other countries, taking into account unique cultural and linguistic traits.

with the barriers and costs of publishing content decreasing, the demand to publish has increased. from books to blogs to social media posts,

it’s easier than ever to communicate. however, crafting that content can be tricky. Many companies are now turning to ghostwriters to help put their thoughts down on paper. beyond online writing, more business leaders are authoring books, with the aid of ghostwriters, to build their credibility. great content can help build a great foundation for a business or personal brand. this awareness is leading to a greater demand for quality writers.

the pressure for businesses to adopt green practices, whether it’s cutting their energy costs or reducing their carbon footprint, is high — and growing. a recent study found that 82 per cent of us consumers are knowledgeable about which brands have a strong history of sustainability, with 80 per cent considering that history when making purchases. knowing the premium that shoppers are placing on green companies, many businesses are turning to sustainability consultants to help navigate the process. there are numerous benefits for companies that go green, including reduced costs, risks and liabilities, and increased employee retention, productivity and morale. however, this is all quite new in the business world, and the demand for sustainability consultants will see a rise in the coming years.

people are increasingly aware of and concerned about indoor pollution. fumes from paint, carpets, kitchen cabinets and furniture are of concern. radon, electro-magnetic fields, lead toys and wireless and cell phone radiation are all concerns, too. the problem is, it’s very hard for the average homeowner to figure out how to test for each of these concerns.

Local health, children’s, baby and environmental fairs would provide ample marketing opportunities for a business that offered a reasonably priced home-health assessment.

taking a car in for service can be a time-consuming process that often requires the owner to make alternative transportation arrangements while the work is being done. amid this reality is the potential need for those who can make the process as smooth and painless as possible. car service concierges will pick up the car for the customer, take it in for service and return it when it is finished. for those who can’t afford to be without a car while vehicle is serviced, the concierges also can provide a rental car. the business is a perfect opportunity for those looking to make people’s lives easier.

DUBAI: A LEADING MICE DESTINATION DUBAI HAS ESTABLISHED A CONSIDERABLE REPUTATION AS AN EXCEPTIONAL DESTINATION FOR MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES AND HAS HOSTED SOME IMPRESSIVE INTERNATIONAL EVENTS

MICE

T

he International Convention and Congress Association (ICCA) has ranked Dubai as first in the Middle East and as one of the major international meeting destinations globally, with the emirate surfacing as a top contender amongst other well established meetings destinations such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Melbourne.

In 2011, Dubai was also named as the top MENA meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) destination in the 5th Middle East Meetings Industry Research report, compiled by Reed Travel Exhibitions and meetme magazine. “Although the political turmoil brought about by the Arab Spring weighed down on the MICE sector in the short term, the UAE, which was totally insulated from these events, reaped rich benefits due to its stable political and economic climate,” Mr Midfa, Vice-Chairman of the Middle East—Africa Chapter of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), said.

DUBAI CONVENTION BUREAU The Dubai Convention Bureau (DCB), a division of the Department of

Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), has, in line with its vision to position Dubai as the leading tourism destination and commercial hub of the world, collaborated with a number of private and public sector organisations to secure some of world’s leading conferences and exhibitions for Dubai.

The DCB has in the past contributed to bringing prestigious events and conferences to Dubai, such as the International Diabetes Federation, World Heart Federation, International Bar Association and the World Energy Forum, and is continuing to solidify Dubai’s place as a leading MICE destination.

Hamad Mohammed Bin Mejren, Executive Director, Business Tourism, said: “The leadership of the UAE has continually underlined and supported the importance of the development of the MICE industry in the Emirates, recognising that congress development is key to tourism success. The strong infrastructure network, air accessibility and abundance of hotel options in Dubai make it an ideal choice for international meetings. Dubai has established a considerable reputation as an exceptional destination for meetings and conferences, and has hosted some

impressive international events.

Last year, Dubai hosted the World Conference on International Telecommunications, the Global Standards Symposium and the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly.

In 2013, the emirate will be playing host to the Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back and Pelvic Pain, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication Congress & Exhibition, and the International Destination Expo 2013. Further major international events are also set to take place in Dubai in 2014, namely the dual events of the Congress of the Asia Pacific Dental Federation (APDF) and the Scientific Congress of Asia Pacific Endodontic Confederation (APEC), and the International Symposium on Electronic Art, which will be taking place outside of Europe for the first time since its inception.

DUBAI WORLD TRADE CENTRE In 2011, Dubai’s premium MICE venue, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), was named the Middle East’s Leading Meetings & Conference Centre at the World Travel Awards (WTA) – its eleventh consecutive WTA title. The much coveted award consolidates DWTC’s position as the region’s number one venue provider for the MICE sector.

DWTC’s award also highlights the organisation’s major role as a driver of the region’s economy and as an international ambassador for Dubai‘s continued growth. Helal Saeed Almarri, CEO of Dubai World Trade Centre, said: “This award represents our unwavering commitment to deliver the ultimate facilities and services to the local, regional and international business community looking for real growth opportunities in the Middle East. DWTC has emerged as one of the world’s foremost meetings and conference centres, making significant contributions to the continued development of the region’s MICE sector and acting as a hub for regional and international investment.”

According to a recent economic impact assessment report prepared by Oxford Economics, DWTC contributed Dhs6.5bn towards Dubai’s economy in 2011, equivalent to 2.1 per cent of Dubai’s GDP. This reinforces the role of DWTC as a key driver of value for

Dubai, particularly with the strength of its position as a regional hub, attracting a high volume of international visitor traffic and consequently driving significant foreign spend within the local economy.

Supporting sectors that are vital to the emirate’s economy, DWTC offers a varied calendar of events, both large scale and niche, covering trade manufacturing, food, healthcare, tourism and leisure and maritime, to name but a few.

Dubai International Boat Show, the region’s largest and longest running leisure marine event, was named Middle East’s Best Consumer Exhibition. As one of the top five international boat shows in the world, the 2013 edition saw over 563 international companies and brands participating, exhibitors from more than 49 countries and debut appearances from Malta, Armenia and Malaysia. The United States, Turkey and Italy increased their presence, with Turkey having the biggest confirmed exhibition space.

For 2013, the huge exhibition welcomed over 3,500 exhibitors from 63 countries and more than 7,500 conference delegates, and was attended by more than 80,000 healthcare professionals. Commencing its 38th year, this mega show has grown to become the world’s longest-running healthcare congress and is viewed as a must-attend global event in the healthcare calendar.

Gulfood 2013 once again re-affirmed its position as the foremost event for the food and hospitality sector.

This year, 4,200 exhibitors from 110 countries showcased over 50,000 brands in one of the world’s largest food trade shows. With more than 2,000 exhibitors from 65 countries, covering more than 20,000 square metres of floor space, the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), the Middle East’s premier travel and tourism event, has grown to become the largest showcase of its kind in the region and one of the biggest in the world. 2012 saw an 8 per cent increase in total overall attendance at the show.

islam

Respecting tHe UAe’s cUltURe While Dubai has evolveD into a symbol of Dynamism anD progressiveness, its heart remains firmly rooteD in islamic cultural values. those Who respect Dubai’s local traDitions are WelcomeD With open arms

i

slam is the official religion of the united arab emirates. etymologically, islam is derived from the arabic word “salam” meaning peace, purity, submission and obedience. in the religious sense, islam means submission to the will of god and obedience to his law. islam is more than a religion; it is a way of life. the holy Quran, the noble Words of almighty allah (god), edifies a complete set of rules covering every aspect of human behaviour – spiritual, personal, family, social, political and economical. the islamic faith rests on the following five principles, known as the pillars of islam: shahadah (testimonial of faith), salah (ritual prayer), Zakah (alms giving), sawm (fasting during the holy month of ramadan) and hajj (pilgrimage to mecca). ramadan is the ninth month of the islamic calendar which is based on the lunar cycle. it is the holiest month of the islamic year when muslims commemorate the revelation of the holy Quran to the noble prophet muhammad (peace be upon him).

Known as the month of ‘rahma’ or mercy, muslims believe that ramadan is the month when almighty allah bestows his blessings, mercy and forgiveness on the faithful. the holy month is a time for spiritual reflection and muslims fast from dawn to dusk. eating, drinking and smoking in public during the fasting hours are prohibited.

48 | 2013 – 2014

in accordance with uae law and as a mark of respect to those fasting, visitors and residents not observing the fast should refrain from eating, smoking and drinking in public during the daylight hours.

While any kind of ill-behaviour is frowned upon in islam, muslims are commanded to be more vigilant during ramadan. in addition to physical abstention, no fighting, swearing, arguing, lying or other sins are permitted. by observing the ramadan fast, a muslim learns selfcontrol and discipline. ramadan is also a time of remembering the blessings and bounties given by almighty allah and helping the less—fortunate. Zakah (alms giving) is a common practice during ramadan with large amounts of money and food being donated to the poor and needy. many families and individuals engage in community services and volunteer work as well. the end of ramadan is marked by eid al fitr which is celebrated for three days. after a special morning prayer, people visit each other’s houses and children are given monetary gifts called “eidiya”.

cUltURAl sensitivity Dubai is a progressive, forwardthinking city and extends a warm welcome to all nationalities – and in return, asks all residents and visitors alike adhere to some basic courtesies and etiquettes. as is the norm

across the world, rude and arrogant behaviour is unacceptable in Dubai. occasional, high-profile cases involving tourists disrespecting Dubai’s islamic codes and customs illustrate the importance of respecting the local culture. amid the sensational headlines, it’s worth remembering that many of the incidents that have been widely reported would be considered inappropriate behaviour, if not illegal, in many of the subjects’ host countries, too. clashes occur when people confuse the city’s liberal, rapidly changing outlook with matters of regulation, cultural identity and etiquette – reflected in its ‘zero tolerance’ to drink driving, for example. to most people the ‘restrictions’ aren’t oppressive but common sense. beachwear is acceptable on the beach, but people are advised to dress more modestly in the malls; drinking alcohol in designated bars and hotels is acceptable, but it’s unacceptable outside of these areas in public. there is zero tolerance for drunken driving and inappropriate behaviour while under the influence of alcohol; both can be subject to arrest. public displays of affection between a man and woman are considered disrespectful and can be subject to arrest too. swearing is considered very offensive and is frowned upon. During the holy month of ramadan, eating, drinking and smoking in public are strictly prohibited.
