Dubai is setting itself up to be the jewel of Middle East trade. You're seeing many global corporations base themselves out of Dubai, such as Haliburton.



Does this really matter though? Most Corporations choose their hq location based on whatever country has political stability and minimal tax laws. Plus with product import prices varying from country to country and government tax laws always changing, it doesn't matter where your shit is stationed.

And Halliburton makes most their income from constructing shit in the middle east so it would make sense for them to build a base in the safest spot close to their market.

I highly doubt you'll see coke honda or mcfattys spending huge capital on buildings in Dubai unless they have some goal of middle eastern expansion which I don't think is there main focus since china and india seem to be more appealing consumer and government wise.

im majorin in business so I learned all about this.
