U.A.E. Foreign Ownership Law May Be More Limited Than You Think - Bloomberg

U.A.E. Foreign Ownership Law May Be More Limited Than You Think - Bloomberg:

"A landmark law that will allow foreign investors to own 100 percent of companies in the United Arab Emirates will be limited to specific industries deemed essential to the second-biggest Arab economy, a government official said on Wednesday.

Authorities are still weighing what industries are to be included in the law, and the decision will be based on factors such as the ability to create jobs and transfer technology, according to Abdulla Al Saleh, undersecretary for foreign trade & industry at the Economy Ministry.

Presently, foreigners can fully own a company if it’s located in a free zone. The changes, which also include offering some foreigners long-term residency permits, will take effect by the end of this year, the government said on Sunday."
