Behind the scenes

Dubai is not just home to Arabs
70% of the people are Asian

How can this be?

These are guest workers who work in the region. They sent money to their homes

Emerging countries

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South africa

Embrace free markets. GDP is still low and they have a high level of social and regional equality

Economic power blocks

EU-Is strong because of all the GDP's of members together

US- biggest economy in the world

China- second biggest economy in the world

Global shift 

China will take over 1st place
US in 2nd place, India 3rd. China and India are examples of emerging countries in Asia.

global shift = change in the economic centre of gravity.
