ومن اللوائح الجديدة الأخرى التي يمكن أن يكون لها تأثير أكبر إصدار تصاريح إقامة طويلة الأجل للمديرين التنفيذيين الذين يتقاضون راتبا شهريا يزيد عن 30,000 درهم إماراتي.

معظم المشاريع التي تم إطلاقها خلال أوائل عام 2014 عندما كان السوق في مرحلة أولية من الانتعاش على وشك التسليم. وقد أدى ذلك إلى سوق المشترين / المستأجرين مع الكثير من الخيارات ومجال واسع للمفاوضات. استجاب المطورون لظروف السوق المتغيرة من خلال تقديم خطط سداد سخية مع ما يصل إلى 10 سنوات من خيارات الدفع بعد التسليم وخطط خاصة لاستيعاب أي رسوم معاملات كليا أو جزئيا.

في مايو 2019 ، أعلنت حكومة الإمارات العربية المتحدة أنه سيكون من الممكن قريبا لرواد الأعمال الأجانب امتلاك 100٪ من الأسهم في شركة مسجلة محليا. كان إجمالي الملكية الأجنبية مسموحا به في السابق فقط في المناطق الحرة في الإمارات العربية المتحدة ، مما يعني أن الشركات التي تم تأسيسها "داخليا" يجب أن تكون مملوكة محليا بنسبة 51٪.

لتسهيل الأمور على الشركات ، تم الإعلان مؤخرا عن تخصيص 5٪ من المشاريع الرأسمالية الحكومية للشركات الصغيرة والمتوسطة (SMEs). يأتي ذلك كجزء من حملة لتشجيعهم على الدخول في عقود مشاريع كبرى مع الوكالات الحكومية وتشكيل تحالفات للتنافس على المشاريع الحكومية.

في نوفمبر 2018 ، بدأت حكومة الإمارات العربية المتحدة بنشاط في إصدار تأشيرات مدتها خمس سنوات لرواد الأعمال الذين يتطلعون إلى تأسيس أعمالهم في البلاد. وقد أدت كل هذه المبادرات إلى زيادة الطلب على الإمدادات المكتبية في سوق الإمارات العربية المتحدة.

A new report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, GI-TOC, published on Monday, warns that weak rule of law, organised crime and a large “grey” economy in Western Balkan countries – and the war in Ukraine – have allowed Russian Illicit Financial Flows, IFFs, to surge through the region and interfere in key decision making processes there.

“The Balkans’ strategic geographic position, acting as a gateway between Asia and Western Europe, coupled with an ecosystem of state capture, institutional weaknesses, organised crime and a rampant shadow economy, make the region particularly susceptible to IFFs,” Vanya Petrova, author of the report, told BIRN.

“This fact has actively been exploited by major players such as Russia, China and the UAE to influence decision-making in key markets and institutions,” she added.

The Kremlin has repeatedly taken advantage of its integration into the Western financial system to exploit governance gaps through the corrosive effect of illicit finance. This danger has taken on new and potentially greater dimensions with the onset of Russia’s war in Ukraine,” she says.

Global IFFs are estimated to be worth around 1-1.6 trillion US dollars annually, accounting for 3-5 per cent of world gross domestic product, GDP. However, according to Petrova, in the Western Balkans the figure is around 6 per cent of the region’s GDP.

After Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, many sanctions were introduced, including a freeze by G7 countries of around 315 billion US dollars’ worth of Russian reserves held in Russia’s Central Bank.

Ways used by Russian elites to avoid sanctions include “laundering money through the purchase of real estate and business assets; utilizing professionals to open bank accounts, initiate bank transactions, transfer funds and create corporate structures that directly or indirectly support them; using complex ownership structures to avoid identification; and using third-party jurisdictions and false trade information to facilitate sensitive goods shipments to Russia”.

Russians avoid sanctions via the Western Balkans “with their combination of state and media capture, simmering ethnic divisions, slow pace of EU accession and the legacy of Russian cognitive bias”.

According to the report, since 2014, Bosnia, Bulgaria and Serbia have not followed EU sanctions against Russia, while both North Macedonia and Montenegro have provided so-called citizenship for investment to Russian citizens, despite criticism from the EU.

Albania has not yet followed through with a “fiscal amnesty” programme that would allow any Albanian or foreign citizen to deposit up to €2 million in non-declared money in the banking system, but has not scrapped the idea either.

Smuggling of people, weapons and cash have facilitated illegal activity since the start of the war in Ukraine. Smuggled cash is mainly concealed in cars or hidden among legitimate products in transport trucks or shipping containers.

According to the report, soon after the war started in 2022, Ukrainian refugees took undeclared cash with them to Europe; the wife of a former Ukrainian MP was caught at a border crossing for refugees with US$28 million and €1.3 million as she tried to enter Hungary.

In another case, a former Ukraine security service general, allegedly a Russian collaborator, was detained at the Serbia-North Macedonia border with €600 000 in cash, a large sum in US dollars, and diamonds and emeralds of unknown value.

Intensified use of covert channels for illegal money transfers into Albania exists as well.

Flows are often made indistinguishable by being mixed with gains in “cash-intensive businesses, such as restaurants, bars, beauty salons, petrol stations, private parking lots and taxi companies,” where this illegal money is laundered.

The report also explains that another form of IFF is fuel fraud. This often includes the evasion of custom tariffs by declaring lesses quantities of an oil product by selling fuel from ships on the Danube to fishers. A more recent trend, the report says, is the purchase of fuel at lower prices from Hungary and reselling it in Serbia.

The EU single market has a zero VAT policy for invoices between intermediaries, which has allowed VAT fraud to bloom. Petrova says that “in December 2022, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) uncovered what is believed to be the biggest VAT carousel fraud ever investigated in the EU, responsible for an estimated loss to EU taxpayers of €2.2 billion, including Bulgaria and Croatia, as well as third countries such as Albania and Serbia”.

“In general, this and trade misinvoicing remains the most prominent channel through which IFFs flow in and out of the Western Balkans,” Petrova writes. Trade misinvoicing includes fake legal transactions when no real business is taking place.

The report urges Europe to further decouple its economy from Russia, a network screening and sanctioning of Russian strategic investments in the Balkans, and to “prioritize the integration of the Balkans into the rollout of the newly designed Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and coordinating their actions with US FinCEN and the financial intelligence institutions in each EU member state”.

Looking to Buy a property in Dubai? The city has something that caters to every preference and accounts for every budget.

The real estate market in Dubai is experiencing consistent growth and has demonstrated remarkable resilience post-pandemic. Whether you're in search of your forever home or an international investor looking for a buy-to-let property, here are 5 compelling reasons why you should consider making the decision to buy property in Dubai.

High rental yields to Buy Property In Dubai

As indicated by Inch & Brick, the UAE stands among the world's highest rental yields. With a surge in property supply in Dubai, sought-after areas like Business Bay, Downtown, Dubai Marina, and Palm Jumeirah have consistently maintained a stable rental yield due to sustained high demand. If you're considering an investment, buying property in Dubai can offer attractive rental returns.

Dubai boasts a stable economy that has evolved over the past few decades. Moving away from reliance solely on oil production, the city has transformed into a global tourist destination. In 2021, Dubai welcomed over 7.28 million visitors, solidifying its position as a leading international hub (Dubai Tourism, 2022). The GDP witnessed a notable 5.9% rise to AED 102 billion in Q1 2022, propelled by strategic initiatives and various supportive economic programs. This economic stability enhances the attractiveness of buying property in Dubai for both residents and international investors alike.

Safe environment & high living standards

With an exceptionally low crime rate and recognition as one of the safest countries globally, considering an investment to buy property in Dubai offers a level of reassuring security that may be challenging to find in other bustling metropolitan cities. Dubai is acknowledged as a safe haven for both tourists and residents, given its close monitoring and strict control, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a secure and tranquil living or investment environment.

UAE Real Estate Market is driven by the Rising Demand for Retail and Residential Spaces owing to Increased Expatriate Movement, Government’s Pro Real Estate Policies and Rising Foreign Direct Investments: Ken Research

سوق العقارات في الإمارات العربية المتحدة مدفوع بالطلب المتزايد على مساحات التجزئة والمساحات السكنية بسبب زيادة حركة المغتربين والسياسات العقارية الحكومية المؤيدة وارتفاع الاستثمارات الأجنبية المباشرة: كين للأبحاث

"ساعدت مبادرات مثل سقف الرهن العقاري للمصرف المركزي الإماراتي ، والموافقة على إطار التخطيط العمراني في دبي ، وتوحيد اللاعبين العقاريين في أبو ظبي في تشديد الرقابة على ظروف سوق العقارات."

النمو في قطاع السياحة: برز قطاع السفر والسياحة في البلاد ليكون قطاع الخدمات غير النفطية الأكثر تطورا والأقوى في السنوات الأخيرة. وخلال عام 2017، بلغت المساهمة المباشرة للسفر والسياحة في الناتج المحلي الإجمالي الكلي حوالي 68.5 مليار درهم، أي ما يمثل 5.2٪ من إجمالي الناتج المحلي لدولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. دعم قطاع السفر والسياحة بشكل مباشر حوالي 317،500 وظيفة في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة وهو ما يمثل 5.4٪ من إجمالي العمالة خلال 2017-2018.

زيادة الاستثمار الأجنبي المباشر: من أجل تحسين بيئة الأعمال في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة ، سمحت الحكومة بملكية 100٪ للأعمال التي يتم إنشاؤها في المناطق الحرة في الإمارات العربية المتحدة. وقد ساعد ذلك في تعزيز ثقة المستثمرين في سوق الإمارات العربية المتحدة وأدى إلى زيادة تدفق رأس المال البشري والاستثمارات الأجنبية إلى البلاد مما أدى بدوره إلى زيادة الطلب على المساحات العقارية في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة.

رؤية الإمارات 2021: تماشيا مع رؤية الإمارات 2021 وخطة الدولة لإعادة تأهيل حقبة ما بعد النفط، فرضت الدولة سياسات لتنويع الاقتصاد بعيدا عن النفط والانتقال إلى اقتصاد معرفي عالي الإنتاجية وتنافسي. ساهمت الاستثمارات في بناء مشاريع الحدث العالمي إكسبو 2020 مثل توسعة مطار أبوظبي في إمارة أبوظبي ، وتوسيع مطار آل مكتوم الدولي في دبي وغيرها من البنية التحتية للسكك الحديدية والطرق في نمو البنية التحتية العقارية في البلاد.

إدخال ضريبة القيمة المضافة: كان لإدخال ضريبة القيمة المضافة في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة تأثير ضئيل على سوق العقارات السكنية ؛ فقد أثر على قطاعي التجزئة والفنادق بشكل كبير. وجد ملاك الأراضي في قطاع التجزئة والفنادق صعوبة في تمرير مبلغ الضريبة إلى المستأجرين لأن ارتفاع معدلات الإيجار بنسبة 5.0٪ سيؤثر سلبا على السوق الضعيف ، وبالتالي قرروا استيعاب مبلغ الضريبة بينهم.

التقرير بعنوان "توقعات سوق العقارات في الإمارات العربية المتحدة حتى عام 2025 - حسب سوق العقارات المكتبية (بريميوم ، النوع أ ، والنوع ب) ، حسب سوق عقارات التجزئة (مراكز التسوق الإقليمية الكبرى ، ومراكز التسوق الإقليمية ، والمراكز المجتمعية ، ومراكز التسوق المجاورة ، ومراكز الراحة) ، حسب سوق العقارات السكنية (الشقق والفيلات) ، وسوق العقارات الفندقية (1-3 نجوم ، 4 نجوم ، 5 نجوم والشقق الفندقية)" بواسطة كين للأبحاث أن سوق العقارات في الإمارات العربية المتحدة سيشهد نموا في كل قطاع من قطاعاته الفرعية. إن سياسات الحكومة التي تفضل سوق العقارات مثل رؤية الإمارات 2021 وإدخال إيجاري مع ديناميكيات الشركات الدولية المهاجرة إلى الإمارات العربية المتحدة بسبب نظام التشغيل المرن سترفع سوق العقارات في الإمارات العربية المتحدة إلى مستويات أعلى. من المتوقع أن ينمو العرض في سوق المكاتب في دبي (في GLA) ، وعرض سوق التجزئة (في GLA) ، والعرض في سوق العقارات السكنية (في الوحدات) والعرض في سوق الفنادق (في العدد الإجمالي للغرف) بمعدل نمو سنوي مركب قدره 3.2٪ و 4.8٪ و 8.1٪ و 5.0٪ على التوالي خلال الفترة المتوقعة 2018-2025.

Thriving tourism industry: Dubai's tourism industry is booming, with over 23.7 million visitors in 2022. This presents an opportunity for investors to rent out their apartments for short-term stays.

High rental yields: Dubai boasts some of the highest rental yields in the world, ranging from 5% to 10%. This means you can expect a good return on your investment through rental income.

Indian investors driving the surge - A dive into Dubai's booming real estate market

Dubai’s thriving real estate market offers a wide variety of properties, attracting Indians, who are increasingly investing in Dubai

Dubai’s thriving real estate market offers a wide variety of properties, attracting individuals from all over the world, including India, who are increasingly purchasing and investing in real estate in Dubai. Indians have consistently been among the top 3 nationalities to buy properties in Dubai, since 2004. Between 2015 to 2021 alone, India investors purchased real estate worth AED 83.62 billion in the city.

Aside from residential properties, Dubai is also home to significant commercial real estate projects, including office spaces, retail canters, and hospitality properties. The presence of free zones and various business-friendly policies has attracted international companies, thereby positively impacting the demand for rentals.

Real estate is one of the crucial drivers of the UAE economy, with the sector contributing to nearly 5.5% of the total GDP. As Dubai is experiencing a strong post covid recovery, so is its real estate market.

Dubai’s Economic Recovery

Dubai has seen a swift economic recovery post-Covid, largely driven by a boom in the property market, increased tourism, and inflows of foreign capital. The city has set large ambitions with a 10-year economic plan, known as D33, aiming to double the economy’s size and make Dubai one of the top four global financial centres within a decade. Further, government initiatives such as the golden visa have played a significant role in attracting foreign investment, talented individuals and boosting issuance of new business licences by over 50%.

The property market has been a strong player in Dubai’s economic recovery, with average property prices rising 12.8% in Q1 of this year and villa prices increasing by nearly 15%​​. Dubai was the world’s fourth busiest ultra-prime property market last year, with 219 home sales valued over $10 million​​.

As Dubai solidifies its position as a regional hub for finance and business, we are seeing a direct impact of this on the real estate market that is attracting investors and driving further development in the sector.

Dubai’s Real Estate Market

Dubai’s real estate market is expected to grow to over AED 300 billion by the end of the year. Unique Properties, a leading real estate agency in Dubai has stated that they see a strong surge in the sector for the second half of 2023. Data indicates that both the residential and commercial markets grew with significant margins in 2023, when compared to 2022. The residential market registered about AED 93 billion in sales in the first half of the year, which is a 46.7% jump from 2022, while the commercial sector experiences a 30% jump from 2022, to reach AED 2.86 billion in sales.

This notable growth in the real estate market can largely be attributed to the government initiatives that are attracting foreign investments and a strong recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dubai’s commercial real estate space is looking very promising, at a time when real estate advisors agree that it is important to invest in office spaces. JLL, a leading professional services firm specialising in real estate highlighted the wider impact of the future of work on the real estate sector at their ‘future for work’ event in Dubai. According to JLL’s Future of Work Survey, 77% of commercial real estate leaders agree that investing in high-quality office spaces will be a greater priority than expanding the total footprint of their developments. When it comes to the UAE, the country’s office sector has rapidly bounced back from the pandemic woes. According to the Demand Study conducted by JLL- for Grade A office spaces in Dubai, in the last two years, not only has the sector seen a resurgence in demand, but it also saw the first half of 2022, nearly matching pre-pandemic levels.

Real estate and tech

Dubai’s real estate sector recognises the importance of embracing innovation, leading to the emergence of prop-tech or property technology. These innovative technologies aim to streamline the processes associated with property deals and contribute to the continued growth of the market. Prop-tech solutions are further trying to increase the convenience of searching and purchasing real estate and ultimately enhancing market access by providing more accurate data about the market.

The UAE is already home to 55% of prop tech startups in the MENA region. “With Dubai’s ambitious plans to double the population by 2040 to 5.8 million people, further residential supply will be required to meet the growing demand,” said Rami Tabbara, co-founder at fractional real estate investment platform Stake. “Couple the growing market with a strong startup ecosystem, ease of business formation and low taxes, Dubai is ripe to be disrupted through proptech innovation.”

In just two years, we’ve enabled thousands of investors to buy AED 154 million worth of properties in Dubai and paid them over AED4.6 million in rental income” Tabbara said.

Indian Demand for Dubai’s real estate

According to data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Indian’s have been the dominant force in Dubai’s property market over the last decade. In 2022, Indian’s emerged as top home buyers in Dubai, with purchases worth Rs 35 thousand crores, according to the recent reports. Indian’s have spent almost twice the money on buying residential properties in the city over the last 2 years, with the average price of houses bought by Indians ranging from Rs. 3.6 to 3.8 crores. This trend is largely driven by businesspeople and active investors.

The high rental yields is one of the main factors that is attracting Indian investors to Dubai. Real estate investors can expect a return on investment of about 5–7% in rental yield, which has remained stable over the past few years. For many investors Dubai offers better rates than large Indian cities like Mumbai and Delhi. However, there are a number of factors that make Dubai an attractive spot for Indian investors, besides the rental yields.

Dubai is strategically located between Asia, Europe, and Africa, making it an ideal hub for international trade and commerce. This is a major push for Indian investors and business owners who are looking to expand their operations into new markets.

Dubai’s stable political climate and business-friendly environment have helped in creating a secure environment for Indian investors to safeguard their investments. Further, the government has also supported foreign investments and several implemented measures to make the city more attractive to investors.

Dubai’s strong and growing economy presents numerous opportunities for investors from India who seek to capitalise on the region’s growth potential. With no income or capital gains taxes, Dubai positions itself as an attractive destination especially for Indian’s who may have to pay significant taxes back home.

Dubai is renowned for providing its residents with a great quality of life. The city offers world class infrastructure, top notch residential and commercial properties, business and shopping centres, and a safe environment making it an ideal place for people to live. The large expat community in Dubai, including the substantial Indian population contributes to a sense of familiarity and comfort for Indian investors and residents.

Above all, due to the diversification strategies of Dubai, a thriving real estate market has been created, and this market is only expected to grow, and Indian investors do not want to miss out on the opportunities presented by this dynamic market.

The future

The demand for Dubai’s real estate market is only expected to grow in the years to come, with Indian investors playing a pivotal role in its growth. Some of the key drivers for this optimistic outlook are the tech boom with a growing amount of support for startups, which is transforming Dubai into a global hub for innovation. Additionally, government support with significant infrastructure projects such as the extension of the metro’s red line and the upgrading of roads and bridges, will only continue to stimulate economic growth, create more business opportunities, and attract more investments.
