"In continuation of Global Investment House coverage of the sectors in the GCC region, we have come out with a detailed report on GCC Real Estate Sector.



Strong crude prices over the last five years have played a significant role in boosting the economic growth of GCC region.

The recent global credit meltdown and cautiously optimistic market sentiments towards property investments in the regional real estate market is reflected through the signs of price correction in the sector. Although the declining oil prices coupled with global financial crisis is expected to slowdown economic growth and capital investments which will directly affect the real estate sector growth, certain regional economies, still offer attractive opportunities based on enduring demand fundamentals.
