During July, the Dubai government in a bid to support overall expansion for the business to Dh6.3 Billion, there was an announcement of an economic stimulus package worth Dh1.5 billion during July. During the month of August, wherein it was observed that there was meteoric surge in August, surge in construction, wholesale, as well as the growth in retail arena remains bit softened.

The travel as well as tourism arena also registered a decelerating curve in business conditions, but so much remained reasonable typical and the speed of turn was uniform beyond July, in accordance to the survey.
