Here's a look at the latest news from Wednesday, compiled by our team of editors at Arabian Business.

Dubai’s real estate market has seen steady growth over the past year, driven by the increase in expatriate population, policies such as the recent change to the rules for real estate investors to qualify for the Golden Visa, according to the latest industry report by Savills.

In addition, property developer Nakheel has announced the launch of Bay Villas, an exclusive residential community on Dubai Islands B. The new gated community development consists of waterfront and garden villas, semi-detached residences, and townhouses, offering luxurious coastal living in close proximity to key locations across the emirate.

The emirate will also soon be home to a new $350 million air and ground regional hub at Dubai World Central Airport, launched by FedEx Express. This move will further expand the company’s presence in the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa region.

Meanwhile, the UAE MOHRE inspection teams detected thousands of violations in the labour market. The inspection team carried out more than 430,000 inspection visits last year and organised awareness programmes about labour market legislation for workers and employers.
