        The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is turning to private finance to pay for future work on the Dubai Metro with plans to add 240km of track and 250km of tramlines. The government is considering three forms of financing - Build Operate Transfer (BOT), Direct Public Finance (DPF), and Public Private Partnerships (PPP).

        Thousands of employees in Dubai lost their jobs over the past year as companies trimmed their payrolls in the wake of the financial crisis, but there are signs that hiring is starting to pick up again. However, experts remain cautious about predicting when, if ever, there will be a return to the hiring levels that existed in the emirate prior to the downturn.

      <![CDATA[
        Etisalat's cable television subsidiary, E-Vision, has launched the first commercial high-definition television (HDTV) service in the Middle East. While the new service will only be available to E-Vision's pay-TV customers in the UAE, it is likely that the rollout will spur other broadcasters in the Gulf to follow suit with similar offerings.
