Heading For A Crash: The Road To Recession
Discover how global trade policies are shaking markets and impacting Dubai real estate. Explore varied options to gain control over your asset amidst market shifts and navigate economic uncertainty.
The Global Impact
The United States has implemented one of the most aggressive trade policies in modern history, imposing 10%-50% tariffs on imports. These economic tariffs have sparked a global trade war, increasing the cost of living and heightening the risk of a recession. The last time we saw such drastic US Tariffs it turned a regular recession into the great depression.
The impact extends far beyond Wall Street; the uncertainty caused by these tariffs is felt globally, affecting real estate, stocks, and investments. This uncertainty is a major threat to investor confidence and economic growth, as it undermines stability across markets.
The Impact on UAE
In the UAE, the effects are already visible. Business growth slowed in March, with job creation hitting a three-year low due to softening demand and rising costs. To navigate these turbulent times, it’s crucial to stay disciplined and focus on long-term strategies.
