Country General Information

Banking
Dubai’s highly regulated environment adheres to international best practices, while operating with zero personal and corporate tax rates, as well as 100% capital repatriation with no currency restrictions. This type of financial freedom is seldom found in such a highly developed business environment. Banks in Dubai are well known as being some of the leading financial institutions in the world, providing not only stability and excellent quality, but also complete confidentiality.
History
Dubai is regarded as the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates. It is seen as a truly “global” city, and is the main business hub of the Middle East as well as South Asia. The first proof of human settlement in Dubai is around 7,000 BC. At various sites around the city, ancient settlements have been discovered that date back to these times. Also, pre-Islamic ceramics have been found from the 3rd and 4th centuries. Dubai as a city was first mentioned in 1095 in a book called “Book of Geography”, written by the geographer Abu Abdullah al-Bakri. Mainly a fishing village during the pre-oil times of its history, Dubai was home to Nomad fishers and was generally regarded as “poor”.This all changed during the oil boom. During the 1960’s, large finds of abundant oil fields in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi were discovered. Between 1960 and 1980, the city’s population grew by over 600%. Massive infrastructural developments were fuelled by the abundant oil funds flowing into state accounts, giving birth to the mega-city we know Dubai to be today. Oil revenues were used to develop other industries such as finance, trading, and banking. These development have successfully diversified the economy into a multi-faceted powerhouse, generating a GDP valued over USD 100 billion per annum. It is regarded as one of the fastest glowing and most stable economies in the world.
