EURONEWS reports that "... in Dubai, despite Covid-19, transactions worth 16.3 billion euros were made in the first half of the year ..."
Dr Michael Waters, Associate Professor in real estate at Dubai's Heriot-Watt University, says it's been good news for investors, especially over the longer term:
"From 2012 to the current day, anyone who's invested in Dubai has seen an annualised return of about 8.5% per annum. So in the Global Competitiveness Index, which is a way of ranking global cities and their attractiveness, Dubai has moved from 29th place to 6th place within the last few years".
