- 0:29that you are investing in
- 0:3290 of residents which yesterday we
- 0:34discussed actually 88.5 percent almost
- 0:3889 percent of the residents in this
- 0:40country are expats
- 0:42which means it's a very welcoming
- 0:43country for expats
- 0:45right
- 0:46you don't i don't think you have such
- 0:48numbers in any other country i'm not
- 0:49sure right within four hours we can fly
- 0:52to a third of the world within four
- 0:54hours
- 0:55and
- 0:56with within eight hours to two-thirds of
- 0:58the world so it's showing the strategic
- 1:01location we're close to europe we are
- 1:03between europe east and west
- 1:08other than the strategic location
- 1:11you are looking at the number of
- 1:13visitors that are going
- 1:15through dubai and visiting dubai dubai
- 1:18is a gateway to the middle east africa
- 1:20south asia which accounts for
- 1:22approximately 3 billion people
- 1:27the world busiest international airport
- 1:29is dubai international airport serving
- 1:3289 million passengers a year
- 1:35almost 3 500 annual hours of sunshine
- 1:41you have a lot of sunny days
- 1:44the world's longest uh
- 1:46driverless metro is in dubai 52
- 1:49kilometers 30 billion dollars was spent
- 1:52by tourists in 2018 30 billion dollars
- 1:56that's like that's like 120 130 billion
- 1:59their homes it's a load of money
- 2:03dubai has retained its position as the
- 2:05fourth most visited city
- 2:08with 15.9 million passengers in 2017 or
- 2:1318 if i'm not mistaken so if you look at
- 2:152015 to 2020 every year we had between
- 2:1811 to 16 million visitors for expo 2020
- 2:23everyone was expecting 25 million
- 2:25visitors during one year from october
- 2:282020 to october 2021 but but because of
- 2:31the covet
- 2:33everything changed right
- 2:38it's ranked the most
- 2:40livable city in the mena region
- 2:43and now it's aiming to be
- 2:45the best city to live in
- 2:47in the whole world
- 2:50it's a very safe and sound country we
- 2:53are the world's safest country and we
- 2:56are looking at zero percent crime rate
- 2:59zero percent crime rate doesn't mean
- 3:02that there are zero crimes in this city
- 3:04crime rate is a ratio between the number
- 3:07of crimes for every
- 3:10if i'm not mistaken ten thousand or
- 3:12hundred thousand per people in a year
- 3:16so the number of crimes we are having
- 3:18is less than one for every
- 3:21either ten thousand or hundred thousand
- 3:23people in a year
- 3:24that's why the crime rate is zero point
- 3:27something
- 3:29okay and there are not many countries
- 3:31with this crime rate with such low crime
- 3:34rate so safety and security
- 3:37tax-free we don't have any property
- 3:39taxes and residential properties it's
- 3:41100 freehold ownership earlier we had
- 3:4490 90 years old different forms of
- 3:46freehold now but we will talk about the
- 3:49types of ownership there are two types
- 3:51of freehold ownership
- 3:53actually three types of freehold
- 3:55ownership one is freehold for all
- 3:56nationalities one is freehold for gcc at
- 3:59the one the other one is freehold four
- 4:02mrt is only which is very less
- 4:04so majority of the of the all of the
- 4:07projects and properties that we are
- 4:08discussing in our
- 4:11office in our business are freehold for
- 4:14all nationalities but there are
- 4:16properties which are freehold for gcc
- 4:18nationals also like
- 4:20freehold for gcc like what
- 4:23sheriff
- 4:28other than freehold what is the other
- 4:30type of ownership
- 4:32lee's home please hold like what
- 4:37they're different
- 4:41many of these areas and many yeah so in
- 4:44these areas the owners are actually
- 4:46leasing the property from the government
- 4:48or from whatever party private or
- 4:50government from government actually
- 4:52they're leasing the property and they
- 4:53are paying you a small amount for leaves
- 4:55every year and they have the right to
- 4:57sell their rights to a third party means
- 4:59to replace the tenant selling their
- 5:02right and ownership under structure is
- 5:04called selling your leasehold and these
- 5:06leasehold properties the agreements
- 5:09their leasehold agreements might
- 5:11be between 1 to 99 years
- 5:14so dubai is offering 100 freehold
- 5:17ownership this is something that you
- 5:19have to explain to some clients also
- 5:21because they are assuming that only arab
- 5:24nationals or only arabic countries can
- 5:26own property many of these people
- 5:29many clients are assuming that they do
- 5:31not have
- 5:32a
- 5:33freehold hundred percent ownership here
- 5:36in dubai high rental yields is a very
- 5:38big advantage in dubai in europe you are
- 5:40not getting more than two to three
- 5:42percent roi on an average
- 5:44in dubai by average you are getting
- 5:46seven to ten percent roi return on
- 5:48investment or rental income
- 5:52what's the difference between roi and
- 5:54roe
- 5:55return
- 5:58can you explain
- 6:02capital paid capital perfect so if i'm
- 6:06buying a property for a value of 1
- 6:08million there and i have paid 500 000
- 6:11dirhams and i'm getting a rent of
- 6:14hundred thousand dirhams my roi is 10
- 6:16percent by but my roe is
- 6:22i paid 500 000 i'm getting 100 000.
- 6:2520
- 6:2620
- 6:27so return on equity is the is your
- 6:30income or your return and the amount
- 6:32that you have paid till that date that
- 6:35you're doing the calculation right so
- 6:37that is that we will we'll go through
- 6:38them later dubai international financial
- 6:41center was ranked 12th globally
- 6:44and
- 6:45um
- 6:48dubai placed seventh and the economic
- 6:50potential index so the economic growth
- 6:52and the importance of difc and many
- 6:55free zones which are having very
- 6:57important role

- 7:38to be more ah monaco is more expensive

- 7:49one of the reasons only one of the
- 7:51reasons why ubs in their bubble index

- 8:00most under the only undervalued the only
- 8:03underpriced market among those twenty

- 11:38impact
- 11:40i have interviewed i've talked to many
- 11:43people who have been parts of
- 11:45many expos
- 11:47as businessmen as organizers as
- 11:50financial advisors and all okay and they
- 11:53all
- 11:55say the same thing they say that expo
- 11:57doesn't have immediate impact
- 12:00it takes time because
- 12:02expo gives you an opportunity to
- 12:04introduce yourself to many businesses to
- 12:06many industries it takes time until

- 12:53live anywhere else
- 12:55uh stable currency one there have one
- 12:58dollar has been three point six six
- 12:59three point six seven there comes for
- 13:01the past god knows 30 years
- 13:05from the beginning probably since since
- 13:08uh the currency is changed from rupee to
- 13:10derham i think it has always been one
- 13:13dollar have been 3.67 which is a very
- 13:15important thing because see there are
- 13:17many many countries where you in this in
- 13:20in in real estate this is the same thing
