By Gerard Moore and Bruno Savoie 2022-11-28T06:00:00

Continuing our series on the legal considerations of doing business around the globe, an update on the United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates, which has a population of almost 10 million, offers excellent opportunities for foreign construction companies with its focus on real estate development, oil and gas projects, investment in infrastructure, and solid overall economic growth and outlook.

The UAE has the world’s highest percentage (99%) of its population fully vaccinated and has had relatively few covid restrictions since 2020 directly affecting its building industry. There remain some restrictions in Abu Dhabi, where testing must be done at regular intervals to access public venues, but there are none in Dubai.
