REAL ESTATE SECTOR The expansion of revenues from the oil and gas sector in recent years and a fledgling economy has triggered a huge demand for commercial towers, residential units and hotel rooms. Coinciding with a massive influx of foreign workers due to the hectic pace of infrastructural and development work, the demand for real estate is going through the roof. Improvements in health care and a drastically reduced infant mortality rate have seen the population of Abu Dhabi shoot up to a total of 900 000, growing at an astounding rate of 15% per year. Over half of the population in UAE resides in the capital Abu Dhabi , but other areas such as Al Wakra and Al Khor have also seen considerable increased habitation.
The economic boom, coinciding with the jump in population has resulted in unprecedented price increases of 25 to 30 per cent for homes and residences. Not surprisingly, the current demand for residential units far outweighs the supply in Abu Dhabi. Construction projects are springing up all over the country as construction companies and investors struggle to meet the overwhelming demand for living space.
CONSTRUCTION SECTOR United Arab Emirates has earmarked AED 26 billion for the next five years for new networks of roads, buildings, sewer systems, education and health projects, of which AED 8 billion was for 2005 alone. Abu Dhabi 's entire infrastructure is undergoing a massive face lift. Abu Dhabi , the country's economic capital, is burgeoning in every direction. High-rise buildings seem to pop up overnight, trying to meet the increasing demand for commercial and residential space. The 2006 Asian games have also necessitated enormous construction activity, with hotels, stadiums, sporting facilities and accommodation re-shaping the city completely. Investment in tourism to the tune of $US 15 billion over ten years is indicative of the massive building frenzy underway in the country.
OIL AND GAS SECTOR. Abu Dhabi has proven gas reserves of over 900 trillion standard cubic feet in its huge North Field. In a few decades Abu Dhabi has become the foremost exporter of Liquid National Gas (LNG) in the world. The nation's expenditure on energy production over the next decade is slated in excess of QR 87 billion. This huge investment is slated to bolster the country's LNG production to over 70 million tones per annum (mtpa) by 2012. The expansion in the LNG industry started with a strategic partnership with Exxon Mobil, followed by such partnerships with Total, ConocoPhillips and Shell.
Abu Dhabi 's leading LNG industries are Ras Gas and Abu Dhabi Gas. In addition to LNG production, Abu Dhabi is also a world leader in the technology, application and production of gas-to-liquids (GTL), including a $ 1.4 billion expansion of the Oryx GTL project, a joint venture between QP and Sasol-Chevron. Exxon Mobile and Shell also have unprecedented GTL projects underway.
CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
There are many ways in which you can measure a company’s success – by their balance sheets, share price or size.
The chief objective of Bin Zayed Investment LLC. is to be a reputable entity capable of generating income and long-term capital growth by screening investment opportunities from various sectors.
However, I am of the view that a truly successful enterprise is one that gives back to its local and regional economy.
