When do you expect the economy to reach 'the bottom' and for market and trading conditions to begin picking up?
We have reached the bottom. Things will stabilise over the summer and begin real improvement in Q3.
30%
We will begin to see improvements in Q4 after Ramadan and the summer are over. Summer will be quiet.
10%
There will be a slight improvement in Q4 over Q3, but only because Q3 is going to be awful.
30%
Forget any improvement this year. Expect a slight improvement in Q1 or 2 of next year. Inshallah.
30%
Will you be looking for a pay rise this year, or will you be happy just to keep your job with your current employer?
If I don't get a significant increase, I am leaving. There are other opportunities out there for me.
33%
I want an above inflation increase. Our business is growing, and I have been a major factor in that.
19%
An inflation increase. We're all working the hours to ensure we survive. I should not be worse off.
10%
Just let the company, and my job survive. Now is not the time to be worrying about pay rises.
38%
Is there still a major summer slow down in the Middle East region, or is that now a thing of the past?
A thing of the past - last summer was no slower for my business. On the contrary, we kept growing.
11%
Depends where you are talking about. It's no longer slower in more international cities like Dubai.
15%
It will be slower this year than last because of the summer, and because of Ramadan.
26%
Expect a ghost town with the financial crisis, Ramadan and the summer all hitting at the same time.
48%
Dubai yesterday announced the prices of its metro. Are they exceptional value, or is rip off Dubai rearing its head?
AED 6.50 makes it cheaper than other metros around the world. Inspired and enlightened.
26%
Good, intelligent pricing, but as other lines are added will fares be increased? That's the fear...
26%
Dubai has multiple demographics. For some it's cheap, but for others these prices are out of bounds.
14%
It is expensive. Should have cost half of this to make it a mass transport system.
34%
Do you think the slow down in the region, has been good for it, or do you think damage caused will take years to fix?
Very good - it has forced people to reassess what's important, and given thinking time for planners.
46%
Projects have been stopped that should not have been started, but too many people lost their jobs.
19%
A concern is whether cities like Dubai will ever get back to where they were in growth terms.
19%
The roller coaster ride is over. The last 10 years made us rich, and won't be repeated.
16%
Is the Dubai Metro over hyped or is Dubai a pioneer, and this represents the future of travel in Mideast cities?
This is the future, and again Dubai gets there first. This will revolutionise a city reborn.
35%
Great project, but other cities will have the benefit of learning where the Dubai system fails.
13%
The right project for the city, but it's just a metro project - there's nothing special about it.
15%
The project will fail. No one knows how they will get to stations, or from them to home or work.
36%
