Annotation * Unique guide to one of the Middle East's main business and financial centres * Assessment of investment opportunities in the seven Emirates * Up-to-date guide to the regulatory and tax regime and the rules of business engagement * Profiles of the UAE's industry sectors and some of its most dynamic companies * Written by professionals with on-the-ground experience * Of interest to professional investors, international companies, analysts, consultants, law firms, banks, accountants, and business academics "Doing Business with the United Arab Emirates" is the definitive English language guide to investment potential, commercial opportunity and business practice in the seven Emirates. The fact that the UAE played host to the recent annual meeting of the Board of Governors of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, confirmed that the world's leading financial and business authorities clearly see the crucial importance of the UAE as a global business center. Despite the recent invasion ofIraq, international investment flows are still being encouraged into the region -- something that "Doing Business with the UAE" aims to promote concretely. The book also highlights that the UAE has now developed a highly sophisticated, forward looking economy and a society seeking to capitalize upon the unique assets at its command. With its progressive business environment, an increasingly diversified economy, modern infrastructure and sound legal system, the UAE is asserting itself as the primary location for business in the highly competitive Arab Gulf region.

Dubai enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, government policies that allow full repatriation of profits and capital, no income tax and no corporate tax. I like to think of Dubai as fertile land in continuous evolution, which does not only feed on modernism, luxury, finance and technology but also on tradition and culture. Ultimately, it is a complete and complex ecosystem which is booming and capable of bearing so much fruit. But there is more to this. In fact, Dubai is the privileged opening for anyone who looks to the East: it is strategically located at the centre of the Middle East, overlooking the sea, only three hours by air away from a market - the Indian market to be precise - with 1.3 billion potential consumers. That is why a multitude of international investors and companies of all sizes continue to choose it every year, and increasingly by the Italians. However, Dubai, and the United Arab Emirates in general can offer their very best to those who know the rules inside out and knows how to comply with them. Dubai rewards those who not only master the legal, fiscal and economic aspects but also those based purely on human relationships and cultural activities. This little guide stems from just that: to be a means of knowledge, a small manual for Italian entrepreneurs. With the hope that it will become a key that will open new doors to the future for many of its readers.
