Led by financial, aviation, hospitality, tourism and trade sectors, Dubai’s economy has grown exponentially over the last 10 years, notching up growth of more than 100% in key sectors. The emirate and indeed the entire country has successfully overcome the headwinds and hurdles of the 2008-09 global financial slowdown, WAM quoted Emirates 24 as saying. Dubai’s gross domestic product has been growing steadily over the years and it is expected to have notched up a stellar 4% in 2015 also. This strong growth comes at a time when the global economy is slowing down and other major economies are also facing headwinds.
