style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Dubai\u2019s<\/strong><strong> residential market saw prices <\/strong><strong>rise 7.8% q-o-q in 1H 2025 and 16.6% <\/strong><strong>y-o-y<\/strong>, buoyed by strong local and international demand that saw the market rebound in 2Q, according to Cavendish Maxwell\u2019s latest <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cavendishmaxwell.com\/insights\/reports-and-whitepapers\/dubai-residential-market-performance-h1-2025\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">market report<\/a>. The residential sector saw some 91.9k transactions worth AED 262.1 bn in 1H 2025, up 22.9% in volume and 36.4% in value y-o-y. Transaction volumes were down 2.4% when compared to 2H 2024, however, after muted activity in 1Q. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Strong demand across both off-plan and ready segments and a surge in project launches<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> helped boost performance, the report said. Communities like Discovery Gardens, Al Furjan, Motor City, and Dubai Marina posted double-digit price growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Off-plan still leads, but ready sales rebound: <\/strong>Off-plan sales accounted for 70.2% of all residential transactions in 1H 2025. While off-plan volumes dipped slightly from 2H 2024, they remained dominant, supported by attractive payment plans and ongoing launches. Ready sales picked up as well, particularly in 2Q, driven by demand for immediate occupancy and income-generating assets, especially among buyers wary of project delays. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Villas, while making up just 6.9% of transactions, accounted for nearly 30% of total value<\/strong>, reflecting their premium positioning. The luxury segment (AED 20 mn+) saw 1.4k transactions in 1H, up 82.5% y-o-y, as the emirate continues to attract high-net-worth buyers. Apartments accounted for the lion\u2019s share of activity, making up 80% of total sales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Residential rents were up 9.9% y-o-y<\/strong> as lower renewal rates and increased supply gave tenants more leverage.

<\/strong><strong>growth? <\/strong>The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released a study looking into <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/8\/218.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Understanding the Weakness in Business Investment (pdf)<\/a> through a cross-country analysis, revealing that a weak investment trend across the 38 member nations of the OECD is contributing to weak global productivity growth. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">After the global financial crisis of 2008, fixed investment fell sharply across many <\/strong><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">countries<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">, especially those of the more developed OECD nations, with the ensuing recovery proving relatively modest, the report explains. Real business investment remains 23% below its pre-crisis trend, with only Israel and Portugal, out of 34 advanced economies the OECD tracked, having recovered and surpassed their pre-financial crisis net investment trajectories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Insufficient aggregate demand and increased economic uncertainty appear to be the <\/strong><strong>leading factors behind this shortfall<\/strong>, while more structural factors \u2014 most importantly the rising importance of intangible assets \u2014 are also linked to this lack of recovery, the OECD study explains. The recovery of the business investment environment was further muted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shifts in corporate strategies \u2014 such as greater financialisation and prioritizing shareholder returns over capital expenditures \u2014 have also been linked to falling investment levels, the study shows. Meanwhile, the unpredictable rollout of Trump\u2019s tariffs has further discouraged corporations from committing to significant spending plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How is this impacting global growth?<\/strong> If corporate spending on new projects and facilities does not pick up, countries will \u201cnot be able to sustain growth,\u201d outgoing chief economist at OECD \u00c1lvaro Pereira told the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/67a6d06d-0ecf-4a8b-98d8-1b1254e49035\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While no Arab nation is a member of the OECD, a drop in business investment still <\/strong><strong>affects the region<\/strong> given the trade pacts and investment agreements between the two sides, so much of the OECD\u2019s conclusions may impact us as well. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The OECD\u2019s survey recommends a comprehensive set of policies to address the <\/strong><strong>weakness in business investment. <\/strong>Key priorities include \u201creducing uncertainty through transparent, rules-based trade, tax, and regulatory frameworks, and tackling structural barriers to investment by enhancing competition, reducing regulatory burdens, addressing skills shortages and alleviating financing constraints\u201d the organization said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are in the green in early trading this morning <\/strong>\u2014 Japan\u2019s Nikkei is leading the gains, up 0.9%.
