DAMAC says pause needed for #Dubai real estate recovery - Reuters

DAMAC says pause needed for Dubai real estate recovery - Reuters:

The chairman of DAMAC Properties (DAMAC.DU) said on Thursday property developers should refrain from launching any new residential projects in Dubai for at least a year in order to kickstart a recovery in a market where prices are down sharply.

Dubai has faced a slowing real estate market for most of the decade, barring a brief pickup more than five years ago. Housing oversupply has driven prices down at least a quarter since 2014.

The slowdown has squeezed the earnings of the emirate’s top developers, including DAMAC, whose second-quarter profit fell 87% and whose share price has lost nearly 40% so far this year.
