The Dubai Economy Is Going Nuts, And There's A Surprising New Factor Fueling The Boom
Here's a fascinating nugget from SocGen strategist Kit Juckes, who just spent some time in Dubai.
In the spring of 2010, I managed to get stuck in Dubai thanks to an Icelandic volcano. Dubai World had re-structured its debt, hitting financial markets at the end of November 2009, just days before similar concerns emerged about Greece's finances. That prompted the euro to fall from $1.50 to $1.20 in a matter of months.
This week, as I wandered around the region, I read reports of a 16% y/y increase in rents in Doha, an even bigger annual increase in footfall in Dubai shopping malls, and stories of booming real estate everywhere. It's not a bubble, it's a boom, the papers tell us. At first glance, my assumption was that this was Ben's mad monetary policy at work again as fixed exchange rates and zero Fed Funds, not to mention QE, do their thing. Here we go again, I thought. But there is an additional driver of demand that didn't exist in the mad credit frenzy of 2003-2008 - the influx of money and people that has come as a result of the Arab Spring. The rich are either sending their money to the Gulf, or sending themselves there too. It isn't easy to quantify but the planes are full, the hotels are booming and the anecdotal evidence is plain to see.
This is one of the funny effects of global crises: They can produce bubbles in safe haven countries.
We've seen it in London and Germany, as European peripheral money sought out stable alternatives.
And now it's being seen again as the rich citizens of troubled Arab Spring nations snap up property in the one area that's shown impressive stability and resilience.

Want to Double Your Savings? Try Lending to Greece Mid-Crisis
While the rest of the world was fleeing from Greek debt like the plague, a few fund managers in Athens snatched it up on the cheap. This year they emerged from their white-knuckled ride through the Euro crisis with returns in excess of 100 percent. According to the Wall Street Journal, the three most lucrative bond-funds on earth all placed bets on Greek government bonds. The secret to their steely resolve? They didn’t have much of a choice. The funds had a clientele of mostly Greek pensioners and a mandate to park a chunk of their funds in Greek bonds. Turns out to have been a winning bet, even if their hands were forced. [WSJ]
