Dubai economic news, analysis and updates
Dubai's economy has shifted from oil to property, finance, retail and tourism.
Around 2002 the Dubai government began allowing overseas investors to own freehold residential titles in nominated areas, which lead to the massive property and construction boom.
Dubai borrowed about $80 Billion during this time. Then during the 2009 Global Financial Crisis, the property bubble burst and banks stopped lending sending the Dubai economy into free-fall.
Impacting on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) economy, Dubai borrowed from Abu Dhabi and began debt structuring of the government owned Dubai World that had liabilities of $59 Billion.
