With Dubai’s economy recovering, the emirate is rediscovering its mojo. That brimming confidence has already seen the return of large-scale development projects. Now the government is moving on to big concepts.

The ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on Wednesday oversaw the launch of an attempt to place Dubai at the centre of the ‘global Islamic economy.’

Sheikh Mohammed tweeted:

The goal is to integrate Islamic economics into our national economy. We want Dubai to be the global capital of the Islamic economy
