Interview with Mr. Matar Ali Al Romaithi, Director of Offset Unit at Offset Program Bureau (OPB) of UAE
"The response from defence contractors to the new guidelines has been very positive. Over 70 per cent of defence contractors with offset obligations have transmitted their commitments to the new policy, among them Boeing, Raytheon, EADS, Fincantieri, Nexter, MBDA, Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall. In terms of refinining the policy, the offset guidelines are not a policy but a dynamic tool which evolves", said Mr. Matar Ali Al Romaithi, Director of Offset Unit at Offset Program Bureau (OPB) of UAE

Globalization and the United Arab Emirates: The task of Economic Diversification, by Markus van Tilburg
During the last decade, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) established high profile cities and built modern architectural marvels into the desert sand and the Persian Gulf. Markus van Tilburg analyses the factors behind those profound changes that could characterized as a miracle of socioeconomic development. He is focusing on the Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Two states with varied geographic pre-conditions, history and efforts to pursue diverse economic strategies in order to escape from resource abundance. The author is trying to answer some questions about this economic boom, such as what were the driving forces and which were the decisive catalysts behind the UAE/s steep economic growth? Did geographical factors contribute to this role? Were lessons from previous oil booms successfully applied and did they contribute to actual and future developments?
