A recent report by The Economist has ranked Dubai as the third most prominent city in the world. The emirate surpassed New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Johannesburg, Paris, and San Francisco.
The ranking is based on four criteria: population, economic growth, office vacancies, and house prices over the past three years from 2019 to 2022. Miami ranked first in the economic performance index, followed by Singapore and New York in second and fourth place, respectively.
The report attributes Dubai's success to its ability to attract investors and capital from countries with restrictions on population movement during the pandemic. The report also cites the emirate's warm climate, favorable tax environment, and mild regulations as attractive factors for investors and expats.
Dubai's ranking as a top global city is a testament to its resilience and ability to adapt to change. The emirate has long been a hub for trade and commerce, and its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa has only made it more attractive to investors and businesses.
With its strong economy, vibrant culture, and world-class infrastructure, Dubai is well-positioned to continue to grow and prosper in the years to come.
