How the bonus system works<\/p>\n
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of\u00a0\u00a310,000 under the\u00a0Thank You Fund\u00a0of \u00a316 million (Dh80m), which was announced\u00a0in conjunction with Deliveroo’s \u00a38 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The \u00a310,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.<\/p>\n
There are also riders who will receive payments of \u00a31,000 (Dh5,000) and \u00a3500 (Dh2,500).<\/p>\n
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive \u00a3200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.<\/p>\n

Dubai works towards better air quality by 2021<\/p>\n
Dubai is on a mission to record good air quality for 90 per cent of the year \u2013 up from 86 per cent annually today \u2013 by 2021.<\/p>\n
The municipality plans to have seven mobile air-monitoring stations by 2020 to capture more accurate data in hourly and daily trends of pollution.<\/p>\n
These will be on the Palm Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, Rashidiyah, Al Wasl, Al Quoz and Dubai Investment Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will allow real-time responding for emergency cases,\u201d said Khaldoon Al Daraji, first environment safety officer at the municipality.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in a good position except for the cases that are out of our hands, such as sandstorms.<\/p>\n
\u201cSandstorms are our main concern because the UAE is just a receiver.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hotspots are Iran, Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, but we\u2019re working hard with the region to reduce the cycle of sandstorm generation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Al Daraji said monitoring as it stood covered 47 per cent of Dubai.<\/p>\n
There are 12 fixed stations in the emirate, but Dubai also receives information from monitors belonging to other entities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are 25 stations in total,\u201d Mr Al Daraji said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe added new technology and equipment used for the first time for the detection of heavy metals.<\/p>\n
\u201cA hundred parameters can be detected but we want to expand it to make sure that the data captured can allow a baseline study in some areas to ensure they are well positioned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithin the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,\u201d said Mr AbuShaban.<\/p>\n
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients\u2019 money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client\u2019s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Mercer Wealth\u2019s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.<\/p>\n
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.<\/p>\n
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year\u2019s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.<\/p>\n
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.<\/p>\n
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.<\/p>\n
Another general trend in the region is clients\u2019 looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstitutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,\u201d said Mr AbuShaban.<\/p>\n
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority\u2019s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to \u201ctheir defensive characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Friday that the government had put forward \u200ba long-awaited banking draft…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[79,179,18,108244,19,13484,17,14407,1702,1217],"class_list":{"0":"post-244106","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-foreign-desk-team","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-imf","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-lebanon","16":"tag-standard","17":"tag-story"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115756963141483598","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
