Marketing investment products and financial services on the Internet: A U.A.E. perspective

Article Abstract:

The lack of specific regulation or guidelines in the United Arab Emirates makes the Internet a highly potential tool for foreign financial institutions and individuals to market their products and services in the country. The Internet allows foreign corporations and salesmen to tap the UAE market at a relatively low cost and without risk of being detained since they do not have to enter the country. However, the Internet also poses some obstacles, including access availability and security in the payment process.
