The United Arab Emirates cabinet on Sunday announced decisions that would allow for 100 percent ownership of UAE-based businesses by foreign investors by year-end, the state news agency WAM reported.
Sheikh Mohammed also directed the Ministry of Economy, in coordination with the concerned parties, to implement the resolution and follow up on its developments, and to submit a detailed study in the third quarter of this year.
At present, foreigners can own more than 49 percent of a UAE firm only in a special free zone.
