Experts warn new Dubai statistics law could affect transparency, property sector | The National

Experts warn new Dubai statistics law could affect transparency, property sector | The National:

"A new law that demands companies seek government approval before carrying out surveys in Dubai could damage the property sector and discourage research in the emirate, experts have warned.

The Dubai government announced a law late last month intended to help enable the Dubai Statistics Center “to establish an advanced statistics system”, according to a statement. But experts zoomed in on a provision in the new law that forbids private companies from “conducting any survey[s] without obtaining authorisation from the Dubai Statistics Center”.

The provisions “would strongly disincentivise many public and private sector organisations from conducting research, due to the additional time and bureaucracy that may be involved,” said Radhika Punshi, Dubai-based director of consulting at The Talent Enterprise, which studies Arabian Gulf labour markets."
