Dubai should cobstrate to industrial & manufacturing projects instead of investing in properties which are limited to certain bench mark. Hospital industry can be a highly paid & very demanding sector that would not only create patient care visitors but medical tourism will also help Dubai's much needed tourism industry. Dubai can be a hub of medical tourism & healthcare in the MENA. We are willing to invest in hospital industry building new state of the hospitals in Dubai & Abu Dhabi if appropriate support & financial support is provided in a required manner. It will also create new employment opportunities & patients seeking medical care in USA European countries can be diverted to Dubai.

I would have expected the Golden Visa applications to be on the decrease. Particularly the restrictions on travel must have affected the program. I thought the applicants need to go to Portugal for the paperwork. Though perhaps not.

Thank you for the data driven article.

The petro doller economy collapsed which means it can be politicised and over turn.
Healthcare at preesent has potential growth and some kind of stability, Yes another sector which can contribute in stability and economic growth is the education sector, the modern age hi-tech quality education.
So, investment in this sector along with manufacturing will be a brilliant step to shift dependency from unique oil sector to a multiple broader sectors. Thanks

This is the dumbest program ever conceived. Reeks of potential for corruption. In an age where public funding through various channels should be abundant, the least attractive option is importing wealth and entitlement from offshore accounts. Not much long term gain for the Portuguese people and their local economies. It does however put property pricing into the stratosphere and out of reach of most ordinary citizens. Short term gains for long term pains.

Not a good way to build a sustainable economy to benefit the people LONG TERM.
