Once again, Dubai has achieved a remarkable feat! The emirate has secured the top spot in the Middle East region and an impressive eighth position globally in the 2023 Global Power City Index (GPCI). This recognition is attributed to the city's exceptional cleanliness, flexible work environment, low unemployment rates, and favourable corporate tax policies. The GPCI, curated by Japan's Mori Memorial Foundation's Institute for Urban Strategies, serves as a comprehensive benchmark assessing the performance and competitiveness of global cities. It provides valuable insights for governments, businesses, and individuals, guiding decisions related to investment, immigration, and travel.
The report covered different areas like the economy, research, how good it is to live there, cultural interactions, and more. His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, shared his happiness about the news X, formerly known as Twitter.
Dubai is now even more recognised as a leading global city, thanks to the efforts of its leaders and the teamwork of its citizens. It is number one in the world for having foreign residents and luxury hotel rooms. In cultural interaction, it is in fourth place, beating cities like Tokyo and Istanbul. The top three spots are still held by London, New York, and Paris.
