A few Emirati thoughts

An Emirati's Thoughts is simply just that. It's a blog about what a local Emirati thinks of happenings in his country. They vary from one of Abu Dhabi's best hidden gems ,that is a back street Cafe where local Emiratis hang out, to other more topical issues like the Iranian government insisting that the gulf between Iran and its Arab neighbours be called The Persian Gulf.

An Emirati's thoughts also ponders on pressing issues like the health of the economy in the UAE. He asks for more transparency and accountability.

What we need is action by our Minister of Economy, Lubna Al Qasimi. Lubna, instead of recieving dignitatries, why not take a step forward and set up an independent division in the ministry of economy, something along the lines of the "Department of Economic Transparency and Statistics" ? Something that will pool together all information drawn from all the emirates and release it so that investors can assess how bad the situation really is and we can start to address the situation more porperly.

I've just emailed the blogger behind An Emirati's Thoughts. Hopefully he'll be able to send us a video link soon. Watch this space.
