New government initiatives and economic support measures, such as the expansion of the 10-year golden visa program and residency permits for retirees and remote workers, have made a strong impact on consumer sentiment and framed Dubai as a prime destination for real estate investors worldwide. Given this boosted confidence, stakeholders in the Dubai economy are committed to building a host of opportunities to maintain overseas demand, the first of which is the upcoming Expo 2020.
