I think if there is any jurisdiction in the East which comes close to the economic, business & regulatory model of the West, it is Dubai — that’t the primary reason it has progressed so well in the past 30 years or so. A diverse consumer base, favorable tax regime & a progressive business environment has helped this Emirate initiate these technological strides. They have been smarter than their neighbours in embracing business & technology as the pillars of their progress rather than depending on a depleting commodity like Oil.
