Major contract awarded for Al Fay Street expansion
By
The project will enhance Al Fay Street's capacity to 64,400 vehicles per hour benefiting population and visitor base of 600,000
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a contract worth US $408.39mn for the Al Fay Street Development Project.
The project extends from its intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, passes through Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, and continues to Emirates Road. It includes the development of five key intersections featuring 13,500m of bridges and 12,900m of roads.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, RTA, said: 'Al Fay Street Development Project is a pivotal infrastructure initiative within Dubai's road network. It establishes a new strategic corridor among the emirate's main roads, significantly enhancing east-west connectivity. Al Fay Street acts as an extension of Al Khail Roads, stretching from its intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to Emirates Road.'
He added that the project will serve many residential and developmental areas, including Dubai Sports City, Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Production City, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Tilal Al Ghaf, Damac Lagoons, The Oasis, and Remraam. It will provide seamless and direct traffic flow along Al Khail Road towards Emirates Road, facilitate movement between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, and ensure smooth and safe mobility for road users.
Upon completion, the project will enhance Al Fay Street's capacity to accommodate 64,400 vehicles per hour and serve residential and developmental areas, benefiting an estimated population and visitor base of 600,000.

Why Perplexity's bold $34.5bn bid for Google Chrome is a wake-up call for the browser giants
Perplexity, the US-based artificial intelligence start-up challenging Google's search supremacy, has made its boldest move yet. Its unsolicited $34.5 billion bid for Google's Chrome browser follows last week's announcement that San Francisco-based Perplexity teamed up with the Trump Media and Technology Group for a public beta testing of an AI search feature called Truth Search AI. The move highlights the growing influence of AI in all corners of tech – giving upstarts the confidence to challenge the majors, no matter how dominant they are. Number crunch Perplexity's $34.5 billion offer is nearly twice the size of its own valuation, which is pegged at about $18 billion following a recent $100 million funding round. That makes the bid "unusual", especially as Perplexity is a young company, said Jesse Jarvis, chief executive of London-based AI company Kaiko Studios. The offer also comes at a time when Google is under scrutiny from US authorities, contending with a legal battle to prevent a forced sale of its browser. Similar to other AI firms, Perplexity is also working on its own browser, which could come as a direct competitor if the offer does not go through, Mr Jarvis said. "As a result, we could see a new 'browser war' waged between major AI players in a bid to change how billions use the internet." Even the company's chatbot Perplexity Ask was perplexed, implying it may all be a publicity stunt, complete with key details. "They're claiming they've lined up enough funding from big investors to cover the offer, but commentators see it as more of a bold marketing play since Google hasn't put Chrome up for sale and could fight any forced divestment for years," it said in its response on X. Speaking of billions, Chrome is the most-used web browser in the world, commanding a share of more than two thirds and comfortably ahead of Apple's second-placed Safari, data from StatCounter shows. That would translate into about 3.69 billion users, according to estimates from Backlinko. What's Perplexity's ploy? Perplexity might be aiming to transform the core function of browsers, which have basically been page navigators and a base for questions and answers. AI, of course, is changing that: Google has already incorporated AI Overview on Chrome itself as the top answer to queries, giving a snapshot of the topic searched. Perplexity or any other company designing their own browser can tap into the potential of making them a "conversational 'answer engine' that directly synthesises information for the user", said Joshua Mathias, head of communications at Dubai-based C2 Comms, which specialises in data and analytics. "This bid is exceptionally unique and represents a potential turning point for the web," he told The National. "While many browsers are adding AI features like summarisation or chatbots, these are often integrated as supplementary tools within the existing browser framework. "This offer is different because it comes from an AI-native company seeking to acquire the world's most dominant browser." Perplexity's bid validates the market for AI-native browsers, sending a powerful signal to investors, developers and the tech industry that a browser built with AI at its core is the next major frontier, Mr Mathias said. "This public validation will likely unlock more funding for start-ups in this space and encourage larger companies to shift their own AI browser projects from experimental features to core strategic initiatives," he added. Alphabet and Google have not indicated that Chrome, or any of its other units, are up for grabs, despite all the legal pressures. Analysts expect the company to maintain its dominance – and given legal proceedings can be drawn out, that might give the tech giant the leeway to shield its assets. The legal process, including appeals, could take many years, "leaving Chrome under Alphabet's control, staving off potential offers and pushing others to focus on their own solutions", Mr Jarvis said. It could also signal a potential shift in industry collaboration, as it may result in the diversity of powerful AI-backed browser options for consumers – which Google has barely to deal with given its lead in the browser market. It may also force browser owners Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla to accelerate their AI integration efforts to avoid being left behind, because "the industry conversation is no longer just about adding an AI chatbot to a sidebar; it's now about fundamentally rethinking the browser's role as an information tool", Mr Mathias said. "It is highly unlikely that Google will voluntarily sell Chrome or partner with Perplexity ... but the bid is a landmark event that will almost certainly set a precedent and accelerate the development of more AI-enhanced browsers – regardless of the outcome."

Sterling edges up to highest level since July on rate outlook
The pound rose to three-week highs against the dollar on Wednesday, as investors grew increasingly convinced that U.S. interest rates are likely to fall more quickly than British ones, following a benign reading of U.S. inflation. Data on Tuesday showed U.S. consumer prices rose by an annual 2.7% in July, compared with expectations for 2.8%. An underlying measure of inflation that excludes food and energy rose more quickly than forecast, up 3.1% year-on-year, versus expectations for a rate of 3%, reflecting the increased cost of some goods and services, as tariffs started to kick in. Sterling, which has gained 8.3% this year against the dollar, was last up 0.5% at $1.3569, having hit a session peak of $1.3578, the most since July 25. The pound has risen by nearly 2.4% in August against the dollar, which, if maintained, would be the largest monthly increase since April. Money markets show traders fully expect the Federal Reserve to lower borrowing costs in September and see a strong possibility of further easing by year-end, following the CPI data. Last week's employment report showed the U.S. economy created far fewer jobs than expected between May and July, putting a September rate cut firmly on the table. In contrast, UK labour data on Tuesday showed weakness in hiring but persistent wage growth, a positive for British consumers but a headache for the Bank of England, which is juggling the risks of a slowing economy and stubborn inflation. The BoE last week cut rates, but signalled concern over the outlook for UK inflation. Traders now think the next BoE cut might only come in November. If both scenarios play out, UK rates would end the year roughly on a par with U.S. ones, around 3.7-3.8%, which, in theory, removes some of the dollar's competitive advantage against sterling. Next up for UK markets is gross domestic product data on Thursday, which economists expect to show the UK economy expanded by 0.1% in the three months to June, compared with an expansion of 0.7% in the first quarter, based on data from the Office for National Statistics. "Sterling's resilience underscores how sensitive the currency is to rate expectations. Tomorrow's flash Q2 GDP report is the next hurdle; we expect a slight uptick in quarterly growth, but any disappointment could prompt a reversal in recent gains," analysts at Monex said.

Dollar slips to two-week low as investors eye Fed cut
The dollar fell to a two-week low on Wednesday after a tame reading on U.S. inflation bolstered expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut next month, with President Donald Trump's attempts to extend his grip over U.S. institutions also undermining the currency. The dollar index, measuring the currency against a basket of peers, fell to 97.62, its lowest since July 28, extending its 0.5% fall on Tuesday. It was last down 0.3% at 97.70. U.S. consumer prices increased marginally in July, data showed on Tuesday, in line with forecasts and as the pass-through from Trump's sweeping tariffs to goods prices has so far been limited. Investors eyeing imminent Fed cuts moved to price in a 98% chance the central bank would ease rates next month, according to LSEG data. Also eroding investor confidence in the dollar were Trump's latest attempts to undermine Fed independence, after White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that the president was considering a lawsuit against Fed Chair Jerome Powell in relation to his management of renovations at the central bank's Washington headquarters. Trump has been at loggerheads with Powell and has repeatedly lambasted him for not easing rates sooner. Michael Pfister, FX analyst at Commerzbank, said these political developments carried echoes of autocratic countries, where heads of statistics agencies or central banks are replaced and critical data series often discontinued or manipulated. "I'm not saying that this will necessarily happen here. But the developments of the last few days and weeks do not exactly fill me with optimism about the future, or the U.S. dollar," Pfister said. Trump also hit out at Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, saying the bank had been wrong to predict U.S. tariffs would hurt the economy. Trump questioned whether Solomon should lead the Wall Street institution. Elsewhere, the dollar's weakness supported the euro and sterling. The single currency was last up 0.4% to $1.1719, briefly hitting its highest since July 28. Similarly, the British currency rose 0.5% to $1.3570, briefly hitting its highest since July 24. Britain's jobs market weakened again though wage growth stayed strong, according to data on Tuesday, underscoring why the Bank of England is so cautious about cutting interest rates. The Australian dollar was up 0.4% to $0.6556, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.6% to $0.5989. The Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday cut interest rates as expected, and signalled further policy easing might be needed to meet its inflation and employment goals as the economy lost some momentum. In cryptocurrencies, ether scaled a nearly four-year high of $4,710. "Ethereum's quiet breakout is being fuelled by real-world adoption and capital confidence," said Gracie Lin, Singapore CEO of crypto exchange OKX. "On our platform, ETH has now overtaken BTC as the most traded asset over the past month." (Reporting by Joice Alves and Rae Wee; Editing by Kate Mayberry and Giles Elgood)
