Industry leaders say the emirate's unique positioning as a safe haven for capital and talent is helping it weather external pressures better than many other global cities.

Kashif Ansari, Co-Founder and Group CEO of global proptech group Juwai IQI, believes Dubai's track record speaks for itself.

"I believe history will be on Dubai's side. Every time there has been a crisis, whether economic or geopolitical, Dubai has emerged stronger," he said.

Ansari emphasized that Dubai's appeal goes far beyond physical safety. "Dubai is a sanctuary market due to its dollar-pegged currency, strong legal framework, tax efficiency, and residency-by-investment pathways. Just as important, it is a very good place to do business," he noted. “As long as the UAE's leadership maintains its current trajectory, Dubai will continue to attract global talent and capital.”
