"We are from the country which has achieved the highest percentage of economic growth in the world, and its not easy for any person to portray his/her own opinion on the subject, but it's possible to reach this idea through the council and Dubai's executive Council, and the relative government bodies" commented Juma' Al Majid. He added "if we look at the UAE's economic development,  we would find that the government has allowed the necessary freedom for thought and money, which leads to continuous economic development without restrictions".
