FDIs increased to AED44.1 billion (US$12.0 billion) in 2013, indicating a 20% increase over FDIs in 2012. The country’s strong economic growth, strategic location and large consumer base will continue to attract investors. According to the UAE National Bureau of Statistics, the gross value add of the construction industry increased from AED96.5 billion (US$26.3 billion) in real terms, in 2012 to AED100.2 billion (US$27.3 billion) in 2013; in nominal terms, it rose from AED119.2 billion (US$32.5 billion) to AED133.0 billion (US$36.2 billion) during the same period.
• In 2013, Abu Dhabi announced plans to invest AED330.0 billion (US$89.8 billion) during the 2013–2017 period. The allocation is part of the Abu Dhabi 2030 vision to finance development projects in several sectors. Several projects, such as the strategic tunnel project, construction of housing units, healthcare facilities and organized ranch complexes are included in the plan. Government initiatives to support economic development in the emirate will boost construction industry growth over the forecast period.
• In 2011, the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council signed agreements with developers to construct 13,000 homes by 2015, valuing AED13.5 billion (US$3.7 billion). In addition to this, of the total AED330.0 billion (US$89.8 billion) financial support initiative to fund development projects, the council approved AED3.0 billion (US$816.6 million) in housing loans to cover 1,500 UAE nationals’ housing needs in the emirates. These agreements will support the residential construction market over the forecast period.

In the 2014 proposed budget, Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) allocated AED7.0 billion (US$1.9 billion), with the largest portion of funds allocated to road infrastructure. The traffic and road agency received 36.0% and rail agency received 30%. In 2011, the RTA announced that the 2012–2016 development plan would invest AED1.0 billion (US$272.3 million) to develop internal roads in residential areas. The government’s focus on developing the road network will support the development of road infrastructure over the forecast period.
• The UAE is a medical tourism hub, with Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) being the largest medical tourist destination in the GCC region. In order to enhance medical tourism, the government announced a new visa scheme in 2012 that extends the visa period from 30 days to three months, which can be renewed twice a year. The introduction of this scheme will further increase the demand for medical tourism. According to the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), in 2012, 107,000 tourists visited Dubai for medical treatments, generating AED652.7 million (US$177.7 million) of revenue. With the new entry law in place, the DHA expects that the number of tourists visiting emirate for medical purposes will increase by 20% to reach 500,000, to generate revenues of AED2.6 billion (US$708.0 million) by 2020. Rising demand for medical tourism is likely to attract investors in the healthcare sector, supporting healthcare buildings category growth over the forecast period.

Rent-to-Buy Retail: UK Market Profile and Forecasts 2014, New Report Launched

Rent-to-buy is a fast-growing segment of retailing in the UK, expanding to take up some of the increasing degree of slack on the high street. These retailers are frequently criticised for imposing a combination of credit terms and insurances which leads to items being significantly more expensive than via other channels. However, for many consumers, they increasingly make it possible for them to obtain goods which would not otherwise be accessible. This report aims to explore these views. It also considers the factors which have driven the high rates of growth that the sector has experienced and sets our views on how likely it is to continue in the future.

In this report we review the UK rent-to-buy, or hire purchase, retail market. We quantify the market size, historical growth rates and levels of industry profitability while reviewing key factors behind these figures.

We also carry out an in-depth analysis of the relevant drivers of industry growth – in particular the macroeconomic environment and supplier trends – setting out historical trends and available forecasts. Our forecast for industry growth is based on this analysis of historical trends and growth drivers.

We believe that, in order for those involved in the market to make the best decisions in this complex and changing environment, they need to have access to the best information. The aim of this report is to provide this.

It is intended for:

• Operators of rent-to-buy retail businesses themselves
• Investors in these businesses
• Retail property-owners, developers and landlords
