Country Coverage
UAE Ras Al Khaimah

With some of the fastest-growing free trade zones in the region, Ras Al Khaimah has witnessed impressive economic expansion and diversification across key industries in recent years, and is on its way to becoming an important investment destination in the Gulf. Indeed, RAK has long been an economic centre, due to its geographic location, which sits near a number of trade routes between Europe and East Asia. Much more recent developments within the broader region have promoted RAK’s reputation as an up-and-coming player in the Middle East. In 2011 its stability stood in sharp contrast to the political volatility elsewhere in the region, as well as the ongoing economic uncertainty affecting markets across the globe.
