How it all began?

The Dubai Jebel Ali Free Zone Dream Team

9

They all said – IMPOSSIBLE!!!When the late Ruler of Dubai – His Highness Sheikh Rashid Al Maktoum

Vice President of the UAE suggested the construction of the World’s Largest Manmade Port – Jebel Ali, everyone thought that this was going to end up as a

White Elephant Project especially as Dubai already had a perfectly good Port – Port Rashid.Regardless the construction of the Jebel Ali Port & supporting Free Zone went ahead at a cost in

excess of USD $2.5 Billion. A Management Team was put together and the Port was launched followed by the Free Zone in 1985. Those early days were a struggle as we had lots of opposition and when

His Highness – Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid took over after his father passed away things began to move quickly.

Selling a 67 Berth Deep Water Port – and a place where you didn’t need a local sponsor was unheard ofIn the Middle East – including NO TAX – Whatsoever.

Well as they say THE REST IS HISTORYToday the Economy of Dubai survives because of the decision made by the Late

Sheikh Rashid Al Maktoum – A True Visionary

Due to Government changes and lack of commitment theTax Free Incentives were greatly diluted resulting in the

Project running into difficulties.The Project has now been taken over by AMCON who are

Working out ways to re-establish the original Tax Free Concept.

The EU Funded the Aden FTZ Programme for a two year period 2002 thru 2004.

27

BenchmarkingComparison Data Analysis Pricing your Free Zone

28

What Governments Think?

• Over the years we have been invited to many countries to make presentations and

submissions regarding Free Zone Development.

• The questions we are asked are always the same

• “Why should we give away Taxation Opportunities to attract FDI?”

29

What Governments Think?

• Everyone wants a Free Zone like Dubai/UAE• But they are scared to make that commitment• “We are losing out - By giving something away”• You can’t lose what you don’t have or never will

have!!• What you think you are losing will add to the

multiplier effect into your economy • A PROVEN Economic Model That WORKS!!

30

What Governments Think?

• Many Free Zones are simply set up to FAIL• Over regulation scares investors away• Benchmarking Study will show you how you

compare• SEZ – Special Economic Zones are Free Zones

with Taxation and time limits on Business Freedoms

31

What Governments Think? “But Dubai is a Rich Oil State”

• We have Limited or very low resources• A FTZ can be Started with little or No Investment

• Minimum Government Commitment – 2L• Legislation – Forming the Free Zone Law

• Land – Allocated on Long Term Lease to the FTZ Project FOC – Free of Charge

• Ajman FTZ Started with little or No Investment (but now hosts over 8,000 Investors)

• Ras Al Khaimah has 2 Free Zones now hosting over 17,000 Free Zone Investor Companies

32

The Reality!!!• DSI Ltd expertise has created Free Zones with

Zero Funding – Such as the Ajman Free Zone which now hosts over 8,000 Investors

• Obviously Government Investment Helps but if you utilise our Model & Template we can assure

success• Investors know DSI Ltd and follow our projects

looking for Investment Opportunities• The 6L Principle of Free Zone Business?
