Fahad Saeed al Raqbani, the director general of the Abu Dhabi Council for Economic Development, says reforms are needed to attract overseas investment and prevent capital flight.

A rigorous framework for insolvencies is crucial to attracting overseas investors and preserving jobs in the Emirates, he told a conference in Abu Dhabi yesterday organised by the Council for Economic Development.
