Launches New Jurisdiction: Ras Al Kaimah
Ras Al Kaimah is the northern-most of the emirates in the UAE. Strategically
located between Africa and the Middle East and between the Far East
and Europe, it is a gateway to over 1.5 billion consumers located
in countries surrounding the Red Sea and the Gulf.
Assisted by the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone, home to more than
5,000 companies, the economy surged ahead in 2005, growing almost
20%, while foreign trade has almost doubled in the meantime. Combined
with a favourable tax environment, which includes a number of double
tax treaties, Ras Al Khaimah is fast becoming a competitive site
for offshore investors.
A modern complex known as the RAK Financial City is under development,
which is intended to become the home of the RAK Investment Authority’s
offshore facility, specializing in trusts, foundations, insurance
business, funds and other financial and legal services which are
in demand from global investors. Developed on an area of 320,000
square meters, it will include 12 towers ranging from 25 to 65 floors
designed for both office and residential use.
