Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, said: “One of the defining aspects of Emaar’s strong financial performance in 2013 is the positive contribution of our developments to the local economy. Downtown Dubai, our flagship mega-development, has energised the property, retail, tourism and hospitality sectors, in addition to creating over 50,000 jobs since its launch. Emaar’s fundamental financial strength is underscored by our diversified growth model, with the shopping malls and hospitality business contributing significantly to the total revenue.
“With the economy gaining further traction following the successful bid by the UAE to host the World Expo 2020 in Dubai, the city is entering a new phase of dynamic growth. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, has outlined a clear development strategy for the city. Emaar will complement this through our focus on developing integrated neighbourhoods that meet Dubai’s future needs including the world-class infrastructure for hosting World Expo 2020. Our strong pipeline of projects, which reflect our commitment to creating long-term value for our stakeholders, will serve as a key growth driver for the company and for Dubai.”
