Swift regulatory changes supported UAE’s real-estate markets in 2020, says Knight Frank | Property – Gulf News

Regulatory changes at both the federal and local levels bolstered UAE’s real-estate markets in 2020, said Knight Frank in a report on Sunday.

“Despite being presented with an unprecedented set of challenges in 2020, real estate markets across the UAE have proved to be remarkably resilient,” said Taimur Khan, Associate Partner at Knight Frank Middle East

“The easing of a number of geopolitical issues over the course of 2020 will also further strengthen market fundamentals,” said Khan.
