Prices expected to remain stable during Ramadan

Consumers are having a good year. A Gulf News reader survey and analysis by an expert shows that the prices of essential food items in the country have remained stable in 2010. In some cases, they have dropped.

Simon Williams, a UAE-based economist, told the newspaper that he believes "there is no pressure to increase prices" because inflation is under control. There is not enough demand for the prices to go up, he said.

"I do not expect prices to increase more than one per cent this year," Williams added.

Briton jailed for kiss in Dubai condemns Emirate's 'hypocrisy'

Charlotte Adams, 26, who was deported on Friday after spending 23-days behind bars for "indecency", spoke of her horror when a local woman claimed she had publicly kissed and touched Ayman Najafi, a British friend, in a restaurant last November.

Miss Adams, from Mersea Island, Essex, who regularly visited Dubai on business, admitted "flirting" with Mr Najafi but said she had done nothing more than give him "a peck on the cheek".

The message to the City of London from Dubai was that the city-state had not only weathered the global economic crisis but was now destined to benefit as more financial groups escaped the high tax regimes and mounting regulatory restraints of more established centres.
