So India is planning to collaborate with other developed countries and India is the major exporter to the Asia and Specifically to the UAE. The Gulf region has historical, political, economic, strategic and cultural significance for India. India has traditional and friendly relation with all GCC member states. With a bilateral trade estimated at USD 145 billion during 2011-12, GCC is now our largest trading partner in the world. As we had explored the some sector which are seeking the opportunity to enhance the GDP growth rate as well as to reduce the current deficit of India. As some areas which had covered are Food Industry, Tourism Industry, Engineering Industry, Textile Industry, Gems and Jewellery and Leather Industry. As India is land of Food and Agriculture, so there is having huge opportunities for India to export the goods to UAE. As the UAE does have only 1% fertile land, so they do not have any opportunity to grow vegetables and other food products to the UAE. In UAE 80% of the citizens are from other countries so they do not like locally processed goods. As India should export the Pour Non-Basmati rice as they ban the Non- basmati rice because it spoiled with in 10 days. India should export the dairy products in the large quantity as the demand of the product is increasing. As the demand of the tea is increasing in the UAE and as India sis the 2nd largest producer of the tea, so India is having the huge opportunity to export the various type of tea to the UAE in bulk quantity. The UAE economy is proving to be extremely resilient in a difficult global economic climate and opportunities to do business in the country are many. The UAE’s currency, the dirham, which is pegged to the US dollar, is secure and freely convertible; there are no restrictions on profit transfer or capital repatriation; import duties are low (less than 5 per cent for virtually all goods) and, in the case of items imported for use in the free zones, non-existent; labour costs are competitive; corporate tax and personal taxes are nil and numerous double taxation agreements and bilateral investment treaties are in place. In addition, the financial risk is minimal. These factors, combined with a strategic, accessible location for major regional markets, an excellent reliable infrastructure and an extremely pleasant, stable and safe working environment are key elements in attracting foreign investment. An expected growth rate is projected till 2014. Real GDP is expected to grow at a healthy rate and growth pick up pace in 2012 and beyond. By the year 2016, the tourism sector is expected to earn US$ -US$ billion. Tourism industry has contributed significantly to the GDP. By the year 2016, the tourism sector is expected to earn US$~ billion. As India is the major exporter of engineering goods in the UAE. As the growth of the UAE is increasing simultaneously the use of the engineering goods is increasing. So India had to export as possible as to export the engineering goods to the UAE. Export of engineering items to GCC region during the period 2010-2011 stood at US$ 8194.53 million compared with US$ 4014.08 million during the same period of the previous year, registering an overall growth of 104.14 per cent. As India is one of the famous lands for the textile products due to easy availability of the raw material and other related products to manufacture the textile products. As the atmosphere of the UAE is very hot and surrounding area are very arid in nature so due to that consumption of the cotton products are demanding in nature. As India is considered cotton product hubs so there is great opportunities’ for the country to earn huge amount of foreign exchange from the UAE country. As UAE is considered one of the fashionable countries and enjoy all festivals & occasions at the most so there are great chances for the consumption of finished products of Gems and Jewel. India is having rich source of the finished gems & jewels products, so it seek a great opportunities in the country and earn foreign currency which will enhance the financial position of India. 1 INTRODUCTION Latest Conference of Chidambaram on Reduce fiscal deficit and current account deficit on 16th April, 2013. “Reduce Fiscal Deficit.” “Finance Minister P Chidambaram has made it clear that any bilateral investment protection agreement has to be subject to jurisdiction of domestic.” • Overturning fears of foreign investors about fiscal deficit, Finance Minister P Chidambaram has said that India was committed to reducing its fiscal deficit and would achieve the target of 3% in 2016-17. Chidambaram said the final reading of last year's fiscal deficit would come to below 5.3% • He said: "India will reduce the fiscal deficit until we reach the target of 3% in 2016-17 or perhaps a little earlier." • Chidambaram said the final reading of last year's fiscal deficit would come to below 5.3%."When the actual numbers are out in the next couple of months, I'm confident it will probably be 5.1%," he said. • He pointed to the stimulus measures taken by the government, after the 2008 global economic crisis had driven fiscal deficit and inflation "out of control". • "It appears that while the first stimulus package was necessary, the second stimulus package was doubtful and the third stimulus package was perhaps avoidable," • Chidambaram said at a breakfast meeting organized by the Canada-India Business Council here yesterday. 2 • The Minister said that India was on the path of fiscal consolidation."I said in the year 2012-13 I will bring fiscal deficit down to below 5.3%, and going forward, I will reduce the fiscal deficit every year by 0.6% until we have achieved the target of 3% in 2016-17.

  • Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region C
    Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region c. 5000 BC to 676 AD D.T. Potts Introduction In a little more than 40 years the territory of the former Trucial States and modern United Arab Emirates (UAE) has gone from being a blank on the archaeological map of Western Asia to being one of the most intensively studied regions in the entire area. The present chapter seeks to synthesize the data currently available which shed light on the lifestyles, industries and foreign relations of the earliest inhabitants of the UAE. Climate and Environment Within the confines of a relatively narrow area, the UAE straddles five different topographic zones. Moving from west to east, these are (1) the sandy Gulf coast and its intermittent sabkha; (2) the desert foreland; (3) the gravel plains of the interior; (4) the Hajar mountain range; and (5) the eastern mountain piedmont and coastal plain which represents the northern extension of the Batinah of Oman. Each of these zones is characterized by a wide range of exploitable natural resources (Table 1) capable of sustaining human groups practising a variety of different subsistence strategies, such as hunting, horticulture, agriculture and pastoralism. Tables 2–6 summarize the chronological distribution of those terrestrial faunal, avifaunal, floral, marine, and molluscan species which we know to have been exploited in antiquity, based on the study of faunal and botanical remains from excavated archaeological sites in the UAE. Unfortunately, at the time of writing the number of sites from which the inventories of faunal and botanical remains have been published remains minimal.

Deducing the timing of humid and arid phases is critical to understanding when the Rub’ al-Khali desert acted as a barrier to human movement and settlement. Recent geological mapping in the northern part of the Rub’ al-Khali has enabled the Quaternary history of the region to be put into a regional stratigraphical framework. In addition to the active dunes, two significant palaeodune sequences have been identified. Dating of key sections has enabled a chronology of dune accretion and stabilisation to be determined. In addition, previously published optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates have been put in their proper stratigraphical context, from which a record of Late Pleistocene dune activity can be constructed. The results indicate the record of dune activity in the northern Rub’ al-Khali is preservation limited and is synchronous with humid events driven by the incursion of the Indian Ocean monsoon.

    Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable, Arab Capital City By Alamira Reem Bani Hashim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair Professor Michael Southworth Professor Greig Crysler Summer 2015 © Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Abstract Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable Arab Capital City by Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair The overarching objective of this research project is to explore and document the urban history of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is organized as a comparative study of urban planning and design processes in Abu Dhabi during three major periods of the city’s development following the discovery of oil: (1) 1960-1966: Sheikh Shakhbut Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule (2) 1966-2004: Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule; and (3) 2004-2013: Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s rule. The intention of this study is to go beyond a typical historical narrative of sleepy village-turned-metropolis, to compare and contrast the different visions of each ruler and his approach to development; to investigate the role and influence of a complex network of actors, including planning institutions, architects, developers, construction companies and various government agencies; to examine the emergence and use of comprehensive development plans and the policies and values underlying them; as well as to understand the decision-making processes and design philosophies informing urban planning, in relation to the political and economic context of each period.

  • United Arab Emirates & Oman
    Big Five Presents United Arab Emirates & Oman UAE & Oman offer an unexpected cornucopia of contrasts that when taken together mean an unforgettable vacation experience. From the dazzling gem of sophistication that is Dubai, to the cosmopolitan capital city of Abu Dhabi, to Umm al-Qaiwain’s long sweeps of beautiful beaches, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has quickly become a star in the realm of luxury destinations. Seven emirates – Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah – joined together in 1971 to form a constitutional federation. Although most of the country is desert, it still offers vividly contrasting landscapes, from the Empty Quarter, the largest sand desert in the world, to lush oases, rocky mountains and fertile plains. UAE occupies a large sweep of land along the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, with Qatar to the west, Saudi Arabia to the south and west, and Oman to the north and east. The capital and the largest city of the federation, Abu Dhabi, is located in the emirate of the same name. Although UAE is known widely for its oil, wealth, shopping and sophistication, the country also has a quieter side that can be experienced in the desert of the Bedouin or the centuries-old neighborhoods, mosques and markets of Dubai. The cultural capital of the country is Sharjah, where visitors gain a glimpse of the past and discover opportunities for authentic interactions with people from fish markets to date souqs. The Sultanate of Oman on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula shares a border with the UAE as well as Saudi Arabia and Yemen to the southwest.
