Al Mazaya: Gulf and UAE markets are safe from financial crisis

"There are three factors that form the major constituents that any successful investment relies on; firstly population growth, individual income second, and third, and most importantly, the solidity of the country's economy to achieve economical growth, liquidity flow and income diversity. UAE has all these three factors."

"The country has successfully been able to use population growth in such an efficient way that it has increased employment, production and has attracted experience. UAE was second in terms of individual income, as reported by the National bank of Kuwait. Most importantly, UAE was able to diversify its income sources by not relying on one sector alone, such as oil sector, etc... but by having an investment rising in all profitable sectors, including air travel, tourism, media, and others. This means that the UAE was able to protect its economy, providing the necessary basis for an economical growth that doesn't get affected by any economical troubles."

"Gulf and UAE markets, and especially that of Dubai, have a strong economy, high liquidity flow and remarkable growth rates. These factors protect the economy from succumbing to any international crises, including the recent global financial crisis. UAE has a market that relies on cash where buyers make an installment plan to their properties' value, which means that, unlike US and European markets where buyers must use real estate loans, buyers here don't have to borrow money via that means."

"It is important to remember that annual real estate profits in the UAE range between 8 to 14%, as compared to 4% in other markets, meaning that this market will continue to attract investments for many years to come."
