Countries like the UAE and Qatar, which have witnessed a marked rise in prices, are now experiencing a substantial increase in the cost of living, a notable decline in purchasing power, and a rise in the overall cost of doing business.
What will be discussed?

* Key factors that contribute to rising inflation in the GCC region
* Inflation and its impact on GCC economies and businesses
* Consequences for the booming GCC real estate markets
* Decline of the US Dollar and GCC Inflation
* Will inflation reduce the GCC’s capability to attract future foreign investments?
* Should the GCC impose a ban on pay rise to slow inflation?
* How can the price rise in basic commodities be controlled?
* Should Government service charges and other fees be reduced?
