6% of Dubai's budget is funded by oil.Just 6%. Rest comes from tourism, financial services, etc.

Yes oil played a role at an earlier stage in their economy but they got their act right before hand. No one steals money for emirates, etihad o Qatar to invest in their own families.

Funny how all these Harvard alumni have really decimated KQ, their certificates should be recalled by their alma mata.

I know we have local graduates capable of executing more at management level than Harvard stoogies.First one must have integrity. Two an individual must be properly educated. Three a person who is innovative and creative. But telling us about Harvard is absolute nonsense!

With globalization whatever done at Harvard School of Economics can be covered here locally. At the end of the day the syllabus is the same.

We need a champion who steers strategic change beyond classroom paperwork!

Here even if we drilled oil hapo JKIA, it'd be stolen and KQ still run down... It's not the resources, it's the mindset

You are very right @mibbz. The emiratis realized a long time ago that oil is a finite resource and decided to prepare for a world without oil.
