Representing the Free Zones Authority of Ajman, I proudly highlighted how #Ajman is evolving as the ideal destination for #innovators, #startups, and #SMEs. With tailored incentives, a thriving business ecosystem, and a forward-thinking approach, we are driving progress and creating opportunities for businesses to scale and succeed globally. This forum demonstrated the power of strategic collaboration, as leaders from over 45 countries engaged in meaningful dialogues to reshape the global economic landscape.

We expect 2024 to be a year of nuanced shifts in rental dynamics across the office sector. In Bahrain, Prime and Grade A rents maintain stability amidst rising occupancy rates, reflecting a balanced market. Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, demand remains high, driving occupancy rates to peak levels, although the pace of rental growth is expected to taper off.   In the UAE, performance in Abu Dhabi's occupier market is expected to remain resolute in the year ahead, particularly within both the Prime and Grade A segments of the market, fuelled by a scarcity in supply and rising levels of demand. Similarly, in Dubai, given the lack of available quality stock and limited number of upcoming developments, rental rates are forecast to continue their upward trajectory, however the pace of growth is anticipated to slow.    You can access the full CBRE 2024 Middle East Real Estate Market Outlook report here: https://cbre.co/43ej3Mo
