Denying false reports

Fake News
The UAE introduces strict laws to prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their capital and leaving Dubai.

These measures reportedly include freezing bank accounts and imposing restrictions on money transfers and capital movement.

Fact:
The UAE’s economy is strong, and Dubai will continue to remain a global economic hub.

What happens when Iran targets one of the world's busiest international airports? I spoke with @DXB CEO Paul Griffiths about resilience, recovery, and keeping passenger moving safely.

GCC FX: where do the Currency Pegs stand? Hear from our Markets expert.

When it comes to geopolitical tension, markets often focus on immediate risks. But the more important story is the strength of the financial architecture behind the region.

الإمارات بخير… وكل تحدٍ يزيدها قوةً وصلابةً، ويعزز عزيمتها على المضي بثقةٍ وثبات نحو المستقبل.

Reports that Standard Chartered evacuated staff from its Dubai offices are not accurate. The Bank had already implemented a precautionary work-from-home arrangement last week and this has simply been extended.

@mazen_barbir They should just revoke their residency as they are ungrateful for the opportunities this country gave them!

Outdated videos and images of past fire incidents in Dubai are circulating on social media. This content is misleading and does not reflect the current situation. The public and media are urged to rely solely on official sources for accurate information and refrain from sharing unverified material. Legal action will be taken against those who publish or republish such content in violation of UAE law.

Living in the UAE is about to get more expensive.

A weaker USD internationally = weaker AED.

The UAE imports most goods from Europe & Asia.
Stronger EUR, GBP & Asian currencies = higher import costs = higher prices.

For foreigners, assets are up vs AED → UAE looks cheaper.
Wealth will keep flowing in.

What should you do?
Make more moneyyyyyyyyy.

Morning motivation 🙂

To reduce your stress, try not to have *strong* opinions about *everything*.

Smart people are selectively ignorant about most things, and deliberately focused on a few important things.

The only lesson we learn from history -& Lebanon specifically- is that we don't learn anything!

[Firas Maksad @FirasMaksad]

This is a moment for #Syria & its tortured people. It is also a moment for many in #Lebanon who were oppressed, killed & disappeared under Assad rule. The late Samir Kassir famously wrote “there is no salvation for Lebanon without freedom in Syria.” Mabrouk to both peoples.

Hi @EmiratesSupport when will you start flying to Beirut again 😁🩷
