GCC region is one of the
nearest and wealthiest trade block to Indian subcontinent. GCC consists of
Six countries i.e.
Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait
,
Bahrain
,
Qatar
,
Oman
and
United Arab
Emirates
. Total ongoing project
investments in GCC countries may exceed over a trillion dollars.
United Arab Emirates
and
Dubai
is one of the fasted growing region within GCC.
India
and Indians always had a
very prominent share in trade and business with GCC and UAE. Most
businesses set up offices in
Dubai
or UAE
and do business with more than 18 countries in
Middle
East
and North Africa (MENA) region, which presents numerous
business opportunities in various sectors. When
India
and
USA
signs FTA with UAE and
other countries in this region, we believe the business potential will
improve substantially.
