To achieve our goal of attracting foreign direct investment, we offer a number of incentives to investors, such as zero personal income tax, 100% foreign ownership, and a 10-year golden visa. Currently, the UAE is ranked 11th<\/sup> in the world for Ease of Doing Business and first in the region. Together, we will make the UAE the best investment destination in the world.”<\/p>\n

I believe the next edition of the Annual Investment Meeting will bring positive economic change achieving new milestones in the FDI world.”<\/p>\n
