Dubai's openness lures huge investment
Gulf Today
|October 01, 2025
Property bans are spreading across the globe, and a new one-year ban in South Korea is just the latest to highlight Dubai's move in the opposite direction, according to remarks released on Tuesday by Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO Kashif Ansari. Dubai is reaping the rewards of doubling down on openness through faster economic growth and at least Dhs22 billion in new government revenue.
"From Vancouver to Seoul, governments are curbing foreign property purchases in response to public pressure over housing affordability," said Ansari. Dubai is embracing investment and reinforcing its reputation as a safe haven. In the last two years, the emirate has taken a number of steps to welcome still more new residents, loosened visa terms, and made property investment easier.
