  29. 1:01location we're close to europe we are
  30. 1:03between europe east and west
  31. 1:08other than the strategic location
  32. 1:11you are looking at the number of
  33. 1:13visitors that are going
  34. 1:15through dubai and visiting dubai dubai
  35. 1:18is a gateway to the middle east africa
  36. 1:20south asia which accounts for
  37. 1:22approximately 3 billion people
  38. 1:27the world busiest international airport
  39. 1:29is dubai international airport serving
  40. 1:3289 million passengers a year

  44. 1:46driverless metro is in dubai 52
  45. 1:49kilometers 30 billion dollars was spent
  46. 1:52by tourists in 2018 30 billion dollars
  47. 1:56that's like that's like 120 130 billion
  48. 1:59their homes it's a load of money
  49. 2:03dubai has retained its position as the
  50. 2:05fourth most visited city
  51. 2:08with 15.9 million passengers in 2017 or
  52. 2:1318 if i'm not mistaken so if you look at
  53. 2:152015 to 2020 every year we had between
  54. 2:1811 to 16 million visitors for expo 2020
  55. 2:23everyone was expecting 25 million
  56. 2:25visitors during one year from october
  57. 2:282020 to october 2021 but but because of
  58. 2:31the covet
  59. 2:33everything changed right
  60. 2:38it's ranked the most
  61. 2:40livable city in the mena region
  62. 2:43and now it's aiming to be
  63. 2:45the best city to live in
  64. 2:47in the whole world
  65. 2:50it's a very safe and sound country we
  66. 2:53are the world's safest country and we
  67. 2:56are looking at zero percent crime rate
  68. 2:59zero percent crime rate doesn't mean
  69. 3:02that there are zero crimes in this city
  70. 3:04crime rate is a ratio between the number
  71. 3:07of crimes for every
  72. 3:10if i'm not mistaken ten thousand or
  73. 3:12hundred thousand per people in a year
  74. 3:16so the number of crimes we are having
  75. 3:18is less than one for every
  76. 3:21either ten thousand or hundred thousand
  77. 3:23people in a year
  78. 3:24that's why the crime rate is zero point
  79. 3:27something
  80. 3:29okay and there are not many countries
  81. 3:31with this crime rate with such low crime
  82. 3:34rate so safety and security
  83. 3:37tax-free we don't have any property
  84. 3:39taxes and residential properties it's
  85. 3:41100 freehold ownership earlier we had
  86. 3:4490 90 years old different forms of
  87. 3:46freehold now but we will talk about the
  88. 3:49types of ownership there are two types
  89. 3:51of freehold ownership
  90. 3:53actually three types of freehold
  91. 3:55ownership one is freehold for all
  92. 3:56nationalities one is freehold for gcc at
  93. 3:59the one the other one is freehold four
  94. 4:02mrt is only which is very less
  95. 4:04so majority of the of the all of the
  96. 4:07projects and properties that we are
  97. 4:08discussing in our
  98. 4:11office in our business are freehold for
  99. 4:14all nationalities but there are
  100. 4:16properties which are freehold for gcc
  101. 4:18nationals also like
  102. 4:20freehold for gcc like what
  103. 4:23sheriff
  104. 4:28other than freehold what is the other
  105. 4:30type of ownership
  106. 4:32lee's home please hold like what
  107. 4:37they're different
  108. 4:41many of these areas and many yeah so in
  109. 4:44these areas the owners are actually
  110. 4:46leasing the property from the government
  111. 4:48or from whatever party private or
  112. 4:50government from government actually
  113. 4:52they're leasing the property and they
  114. 4:53are paying you a small amount for leaves
  115. 4:55every year and they have the right to
  116. 4:57sell their rights to a third party means
  117. 4:59to replace the tenant selling their
  118. 5:02right and ownership under structure is
  119. 5:04called selling your leasehold and these
  120. 5:06leasehold properties the agreements
  121. 5:09their leasehold agreements might
  122. 5:11be between 1 to 99 years
  123. 5:14so dubai is offering 100 freehold
  124. 5:17ownership this is something that you
  125. 5:19have to explain to some clients also
  126. 5:21because they are assuming that only arab
  127. 5:24nationals or only arabic countries can
  128. 5:26own property many of these people
  129. 5:29many clients are assuming that they do
  130. 5:31not have
  131. 5:32a
  132. 5:33freehold hundred percent ownership here
  133. 5:36in dubai high rental yields is a very
  134. 5:38big advantage in dubai in europe you are
  135. 5:40not getting more than two to three
  136. 5:42percent roi on an average
  137. 5:44in dubai by average you are getting
  138. 5:46seven to ten percent roi return on
  139. 5:48investment or rental income
  140. 5:52what's the difference between roi and
  141. 5:54roe
  142. 5:55return
  143. 5:58can you explain
  144. 6:02capital paid capital perfect so if i'm
  145. 6:06buying a property for a value of 1
  146. 6:08million there and i have paid 500 000
  147. 6:11dirhams and i'm getting a rent of
  148. 6:14hundred thousand dirhams my roi is 10
  149. 6:16percent by but my roe is
  150. 6:22i paid 500 000 i'm getting 100 000.
  151. 6:2520
  152. 6:2620
  153. 6:27so return on equity is the is your
  154. 6:30income or your return and the amount
  155. 6:32that you have paid till that date that
  156. 6:35you're doing the calculation right so
  157. 6:37that is that we will we'll go through
  158. 6:38them later dubai international financial
  159. 6:41center was ranked 12th globally
  160. 6:44and
  161. 6:45um
  162. 6:48dubai placed seventh and the economic
  163. 6:50potential index so the economic growth
  164. 6:52and the importance of difc and many
  165. 6:55free zones which are having very
  166. 6:57important role

  168. 7:01including the world's tallest tower
  169. 7:03versus khalifa with 828 meters high in
  170. 7:07dubai every

  183. 7:40than hong kong
  184. 7:43okay okay
  185. 7:47so this is
  186. 7:49one of the reasons only one of the
  187. 7:51reasons why ubs in their bubble index

  189. 7:57was showing that dubai is one of the
  190. 8:00most under the only undervalued the only

  271. 11:23never known so much about dubai so the y
  272. 11:26is being introduced to more number of
  273. 11:27people and you can expect the this is
  274. 11:31what i've been saying and everyone has
  275. 11:33been saying from the beginning you
  276. 11:34cannot expect expo to have immediate
  277. 11:38impact
  278. 11:40i have interviewed i've talked to many
  279. 11:43people who have been parts of
  280. 11:45many expos
  281. 11:47as businessmen as organizers as
  282. 11:50financial advisors and all okay and they
  283. 11:53all
  284. 11:55say the same thing they say that expo
  285. 11:57doesn't have immediate impact
  286. 12:00it takes time because
  287. 12:02expo gives you an opportunity to
  288. 12:04introduce yourself to many businesses to
  289. 12:06many industries it takes time until
  290. 12:09these guys they come they start
  291. 12:11enlisting they start building
  292. 12:13and you get the you see you feel the
  293. 12:15impact of of
  294. 12:17their investments
  295. 12:19uh
  296. 12:20safe and sound country booming tourism
  297. 12:23and hospitality tax-free we have no
  298. 12:25property taxes again for us we've got
  299. 12:28used to it it's very normal but
  300. 12:32booming tourism cosmopolitan culture
  301. 12:35world-class infrastructure especially
  302. 12:38the roads and transport oh my god
  303. 12:41this is this is the most impressive
  304. 12:43impressing thing in dubai for me
  305. 12:49that's right that's right that's right
  306. 12:52we can't leave anywhere else we can't
  307. 12:53live anywhere else
  308. 12:55uh stable currency one there have one
  309. 12:58dollar has been three point six six
  310. 12:59three point six seven there comes for
  311. 13:01the past god knows 30 years
  312. 13:05from the beginning probably since since
  313. 13:08uh the currency is changed from rupee to
  314. 13:10derham i think it has always been one
  315. 13:13dollar have been 3.67 which is a very
  316. 13:15important thing because see there are
  317. 13:17many many countries where you in this in
  318. 13:20in in real estate this is the same thing
  319. 13:23that happened in mumbai or in in in
  320. 13:25turkey this was the case over the past
  321. 13:27two three years right
  322. 13:29in this when you look at the currency of
  323. 13:31that country the value of your
  324. 13:33investment has doubled but when you're
  325. 13:35calculated in terms of dollar you say
  326. 13:37that you lost 50 actually
  327. 13:40so stable currency is very important
  328. 13:43convenient payment plans we are having
  329. 13:45post handover payment plans in many
  330. 13:47projects for ready properties and
  331. 13:49strategic location
