​Being an attractive and dynamic business launch location, Dubai now welcomes foreign investors to fully own their mainland business, in a significant amendment to a decades-old Commercial Companies Law, stipulating that an Emirati national must be the majority shareholder with 51% of the shares, while foreign investors could only own up to 49%.

The lifting of restrictions on foreign investment ownership continues a series of measures aimed at empowering not only an investor-centric, and innovation-driven economy but also one that is responsive and agile.
