Business Environment - GCC
The GCC, a trade bloc involving the six Arab states of the Arabic Gulf, hassome of the fastest growing economies in the world, mostly due to a boomin oil and natural gas revenues coupled with a building and investmentboom backed by decades of saved petroleum revenues
The GCC has a desire to establish the region as a financial and tourismcentre and to provide job opportunities to the growing young population byestablishing new industries
If a Canadian company is established in Saudi Arabia, they will benefit fromthe governments membership with the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC);which will allow them to take advantage of the duty-free arrangements inBahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE
GCC corporate and financial champions are becoming international playersas they have an objective to drive expansion beyond the GCC region

For 2008-2010, construction projects announced or underway for the GCC totals $942 billion, themajority of which is: UAE: $441 billion & KSA: $214 billion.
Growth exceeds capacity such that pronounced bottlenecks are already apparent in many areas ofthe economy. Power, water, real estate, logistics are under immense pressure across the region.
Growth could be constrained by limited labour force and short supply of key inputs such as steel,glass, and cement.
Given demand, there is a strong presence of foreign contractors,EPCers, architects and suppliers. This sometimes results in lowbids in order to acquire market share. Thus, Canadian companies
have to target where they have a competitive advantage.
More than 130 Canadian companies are established in theregion of which approximately 30% or more are related toconstruction activities.

Business Environment - GCC
Inflation is escalating:
Real wage gains are being eroded
Non-oil goods and services exports may lose market share
Ability to attract labour will be undermined, slowing domestic demand
A real estate asset price bubble may be emerging
but keep in mind:
Pace of price growth is not that high
Living standards are still rising
Competitiveness not yet compromised
Balance are still very strong

Why United Arab Emirates?Business EnvironmentBusiness Environment
Spectacular growth in 2007
Oil windfalls are financing mega infrastructure and development projects; UAE government pushingeconomic diversification such that non-oil revenues represent 35% of total GDP in 2007.
The construction industry, which as full UAE government backing, has contributed strongly to theUAEs economic boom, accounting for roughly 7.5% of total GDP in 2007.
Political will to turn Dubai into the regions main trade centre, including establishment of commercialfree zones such as Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai Internet City, and Dubai Media City.
Logically, should see slowdown in growth of residential construction projects (likely by 2010).However, infrastructure, hospitality and commercial projects should grow.
In an effort to build a tax base and economic foundation before the reserves run out, the UAE'sinvestment arms, including Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, retain over $900 billion in assets.

The construction industry is forecast to grow by 7.1% in 2008
Announced construction projects in UAE amount toUS$ 300 billion in 2007-2012, concentrated mainly in Dubaiand Abu Dhabi

clear intentions to maximise investment in construction as apart of the Abu Dhabi 20-30 Plan

Three Tips for Trading with KSA and UAE
While complex markets with a different culture from Canada, entrepreneurs can be
prepared to do business there. Experts in the region boil their advice down to three
Cs: Commitment, Capacity and Contacts.
Commitment: The first step to success is a triple dose of relationship building byinvesting a long term market development. Arab hospitality is legendary; theyplace a high value on loyalty and respect.
Capacity: The scale of everything in the region is large. Canadian companiesneed to rethink their strategy in the context as purchase orders are largecompared to what Canadians are generally exposed to in North America
Contacts: You must have a partner or agent to navigate this country. Manypeople in KSA and UAE want to be an agent and many want to sign a long-termcontract. The challenge is to find someone who really understands your businessand your expectations.

Trade Regime in UAE Imports into UAE can only be undertaken by importers who have appropriate trade licenseissued by the respective Department of Economics/ Municipality of each Emirate.
The UAE practices a liberal trade policy with no protective tariff or non-tariff barriers onimports. All goods imported into the UAE are subjected to 5% import duty (only tobaccoattracts 100% import duty) on c.i.f. value at any point in the UAE. C.i.f. value is normallycalculated with reference to commercial invoices covering the relative shipment of the goods.
However, the Customs Department of the UAE is not bound to accept the value as in theinvoices. In such cases, an estimation of value by the customs will be used for calculation ofimport duty. At present the Federal government is discussing the possibility to drop thecustom tax of 5% and to replace it by a VAT (3 to 5%).
Trade practices in Dubai are in line with normal international standards. All correspondenceshould be in English or Arabic. As a sophisticated market, full technical specifications shouldbe provided with CIF Local prices with Middle East references.
Payments are normally effected by letter of credit.
There is no corporate tax in the UAE. The only exceptions are oil producing companies andbranches of foreign banks. There is also no sales tax or personal tax.
