I am sure we are all well aware that the restrictions related to COVID-19 have meant that the income of many people in the UAE has been affected.  In order to find out the extent of this I have put together a quick survey and would appreciate as many responses as I can get as the more people who answer, the more valid the information.

Survey here: UAE Income & Coronavirus – June 2020

All responses are anonymous.

The results will be discussed in my weekly segment on Capital Radio UAE on 21st June at 6pm and I will share many of the results on this website too.

The survey will only take a couple of minutes and I appreciate all answers. Please share this too as the more answers I get, from different groups of people, the better.

Thank you for your time.

 

I write articles such as this one as part of the holistic personal financial planning service and that I provide to expats, and the general consumer, financial and legal information that I provide in The National newspaper, on Capital Radio UAE, and on the Facebook group British Expats Dubai. I do not provide an employment advisory service to individuals, only via my newspaper column and radio show.

To arrange a meeting to discuss any aspect of your personal financial planning, please email me at keren@holbornassets.com     Please take a look at the other useful articles on this website.

No one can avoid this subject right now but, in this article, I want to address the financial concerns, specifically in relation to investments. Global stock markets fell last week, the largest falls over a couple of days for 10 years, although some are moving upwards again at time of writing, and I do not believe this is a major cause for concern.
