An honest and in my opinion, accurate account of events, welcome back BM, it should never have happened in the first place. I also look forward to Bora's return an...

Ooh, that would have earned you at least a week in the Sin Bin for that one if Arnie would have heard it here on DF FD

I think too many people havebeen burned badly and the negative international bad press and huge debts also doesn't help. Dubai has a future but it seriously needs to overhaul its laws and regulations, scrap the pointless sponsorship system and get some proper investor protection in place. Nothing w...

One man’s Incentive is another Man’s bribe, Incentives are the only tools available in negotiations of this nature, if your point is one of ethics? then regardless of what form the incentives would have been offered, if Israel wanted warplanes they would simply buy them with the provided incentives....

Well judging by both your comments, it’s patently obvious that neither of you have taken the time to read the actual report, the article has nothing to do with buying your next holiday home :lol: and is peppered with references from AT Kearney and in fact includes The Foreign Direct Investment Conf...

You said ‘Your argument sounds sometin like this, if they built two man made islands then, then they should build two more now. If it was good then it must be good now!!!

A precursor to the studio development was the...
