Introduction
Dubai is the most populous emirate of the seven emiratesUnited Arab Emirates. It is distinct from other members of the UAE in that revenues from petroleum and natural gas account for only 6% of its gross domestic product. A majority of the emirate's revenues are from the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ) and increasingly from tourism. Currently foreign investors in Dubai and the larger UAE can hold only minority stakes in companies and must have a local partner, except for socalled "free zones" where 100 percent foreign ownership is allowed. Acording to official data, Foreign direct investment projects totaling $4.5 billion in capital spending were announced in Dubai during the first half of last year, up 7 percent from a year earlier.
Current Scenario:
An amendment to the Companies Law to allow greater foreign ownership in certain sectors outside the free zones is currently being considered by the Government. One major reform being considered is the lifting of ceiling for foreign ownership from the current 49 % to 75 %.14 This will be an important step forward for the UAE. The ministry of economy is also considering eliminating the agency law which gives U.A.E firms monopoly rights to import foreign brands.
