UAE Minister of Investment Mohammed Hassan Al-Suwaidi said in an interview at the Bloomberg Investment Summit in Dubai on Thursday that the UAE will launch more investor-oriented projects in the energy, industry and infrastructure sectors. He stated that these projects “can adopt a public-private partnership model, or cooperate with national or local governments, and some government assets will also be privatized.” He said that the UAE has new ways to attract capital from third parties, and there are no financial problems. “We have an opportunity to attract third party capital in a way we have never done before.” He is not worried about the UAE's funding problems, but the mechanism for attracting capital will change. “I think there will be a shift, but the speed of transformation depends on creating the right opportunities for investors.”
