Dubai Stock Market Rally Reaches 100% for The Year - Middle East Real Time - WSJ

Dubai Stock Market Rally Reaches 100% for The Year - Middle East Real Time - WSJ:

Dubai has another thing to brag about: Its stock market – which has doubled in value this year.

The desert emirate’s benchmark Dubai Financial Market Index hit a fresh five-year high on Thursday – taking its gains to 100% in 2013 with just a few sessions to go as already bullish local investors happily joined the U.S. Federal Reserve-infused global afterparty.

While Thursday’s gains were mostly sentiment-driven, Dubai’s spectacular rally this year in many ways is justified.

After suffering a massive blow from the global financial crisis in 2008 — which left some key Dubai sectors such as real estate in tatters — its economy is recovering well on the back of strengthening trade and tourism. The government has also managed its immediate debt problems – restructuring much of what it owes."
