The city of Dubai South, formerly known as Dubai World Central (DWC), was planned to serve as an economic zone in 2006, with the goal of supporting a variety of activities such as commercial, exhibition, humanitarian, residential, and other related businesses around Al Maktoum International Airport. The airport is expected to handle 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo annually.  The region, which was formerly known as Dubai World Central (DWC), changed its name to Dubai South in 2015. This was not an overnight change, but the result of years of strategic planning and forward-thinking vision. Originally intended as an airport, Dubai World Central has progressively come to include more commercial, residential, and economic development. This rebranding instilled confidence among investors and stakeholders, highlighting Dubai South’s commitment to fostering economic diversification and sustainable development.

In Dubai South there are no limitations on the complete repatriation of capital contributed by international investors and entrepreneurs, as well as earnings generated from their operations in Dubai South. By offering financial flexibility and advantageous conditions for business growth and sustainability, this policy demonstrates Dubai South’s dedication to creating an environment that is beneficial to business and bringing in foreign investment.
