Property Headlines This Week
- Growth in High-End Property Demand to Reach 13.5% in 2023 – The demand for luxury residential properties in Dubai is expected to rise by 13.5% in 2023, making it the fastest-growing luxury residential market globally. This increase has been attributed to positive economic growth and a surge in interest from foreign investors. A total of 638 sales transactions worth AED 1.79bn were reported on May 15th. The city’s real estate transactions hit $7.2bn in April, a 46% increase compared to the previous year and the highest volume in a decade. High net-worth individuals investing in this sector are advised to use safe money transfer services when purchasing a property.
- Global Investors Continue to Provide a Boost to the UAE Economy – The UAE economy is gaining momentum with increased global investments, particularly in Dubai, according to Kashif Ansari, Co-founder and Group CEO of Juwai IQI. Investments span property, startups, private equity, and gold, with a significant influx of capital from India. Abu Dhabi is emerging as a major finance source, receiving billions of dollars across sectors, and enhancing the UAE’s status as a financial capital for India. Ansari projects UAE’s GDP growth to range between 3.5% and 4.5% in 2023.
- Major International 2026 Event to be Hosted in Dubai – Dubai has been selected to host the International Trademark Association (Inta) Annual Meeting in 2026, a first for the Middle East. The event, attended by over 8,000 intellectual property professionals, facilitates discussions on issues related to intellectual property rights. The bid’s success was the result of a collaboration between various local and federal entities. This achievement is seen as a testament to UAE’s commitment to intellectual property rights protection and its efforts to foster a thriving business and investment environment.
