Abstract
When the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) was proclaimed by Forbes to be the most unfriendly nation in the world for expatriates earlier this year, it sparked such an avalanche of angry responses the business information company was forced to review its listings. But Abdullah Nasser Lootah, secretary general of the Emirates Competitiveness Council (ECC) took the rating as a challenge and says the reaction, from both national and expatriate residents, is a sign the nation is heading in the right direction.
