Making money moves

For any foreign investors or entrepreneurs eyeing Dubai, this is big news: you’re now allowed to set up and fully own onshore companies, according to the UAE Ministry of Economy.

Up until now, businesses operating in the UAE had to have a local Emirati sponsor who owned 51% of the company, with the remaining 49% left to foreign investment and entrepreneurs.
