Dubai Mall Unveils Ambitious Expansion Amidst Soaring Visitor Numbers
Dubai Mall is set to undergo a significant expansion, with Emaar Properties announcing a substantial investment of AED 1.5 billion to enhance the mall's offerings. The development will introduce 240 new luxury retail stores and food and beverage outlets, further solidifying the mall's position as a premier global shopping destination. In 2023, Dubai Mall achieved a remarkable milestone by welcoming 105 million visitors, marking a 19% increase from the previous year. This surge in footfall underscores the mall's growing appeal and the emirate's broader strategy to boost tourism and retail sectors. The expansion aims to accommodate this increasing demand and enhance the overall visitor experience. Spanning over 1.2 million square meters, Dubai Mall currently houses more than 1,200 retail outlets, including flagship stores like Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale's. The mall also offers over 200 international dining options and a range of entertainment attractions, such as the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, an Olympic-sized ice rink, a 26-screen cinema, and the Zabeel Sports District. The upcoming expansion will build upon these offerings, introducing new luxury brands and dining experiences to cater to diverse visitor preferences. ADVERTISEMENT Emaar Properties has already commenced on-site preparations for the expansion, although a specific completion date has not been disclosed. The project reflects Dubai's ambitious vision to remain at the forefront of global innovation and culture, aiming to further enhance the city's status as a top international destination. The expansion also aligns with broader trends in the United Arab Emirates' retail sector. Despite global shifts towards online shopping, the UAE has witnessed a 14% increase in retail spending, driven by sectors such as fashion, general retail, and leisure and entertainment. This growth highlights the continued relevance and appeal of brick-and-mortar retail experiences in the region. In addition to the Dubai Mall expansion, other major retail developments are underway in the city. For instance, Majid Al Futtaim has announced a $1.36 billion investment to expand the Mall of the Emirates, another prominent shopping destination in Dubai. These initiatives underscore the city's commitment to enhancing its retail infrastructure and offering unparalleled shopping experiences to residents and tourists alike.

Swiss National Bank denies currency manipulation after being put on US watch list
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) said on Friday it would intervene in foreign currency markets where necessary to keep inflation on track after the US added Switzerland to a list of countries being monitored for unfair currency and trade practices. The SNB denied being a currency manipulator after the publication of the US Treasury Report on Thursday, but said it would continue to act in Switzerland's interests as the strong franc helped push inflation into negative terrain last month. "The SNB does not engage in any manipulation of the Swiss franc," it said. "It does not seek to prevent adjustments in the balance of trade or to gain unfair competitive advantages for the Swiss economy." The SNB said it was in contact with US authorities to explain Switzerland's economic situation and monetary policy, and would continue to use interest rates and forex market interventions if necessary to pursue its inflation target of 0-2 per cent. Swiss inflation hit a four-year low in May, with prices falling by 0.1 per cent. The SNB declined to say whether further talks with the United States were planned, but said its monetary policy was "geared towards the needs of Switzerland". Switzerland met two of the US Treasury's concerns regarding trade flows and its current account, but not on foreign currency interventions. SNB forex exchange purchases in 2024 were "minimal," Treasury said. In 2024, the SNB bought only $1 billion in foreign currencies, equivalent to only 0.1 per cent of Swiss GDP, well below the Treasury's threshold of 2 per cent of economic output. The US has also added Ireland to the list, along with previous countries, including Germany, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam, already being monitored at the time of the November report from the Biden administration.
