Just 24 hours' notice for school inspections in Dubai
About this episode
The episode discusses the resumption of KHDA school inspections in Dubai with short notice, the impact of recent conflicts on buyer behavior in property markets, the potential health benefits of weight loss drugs, and financial challenges faced by musicians in the Middle East.
From September 2026, the new academic year, KHDA inspections will resume after a two-year pause, but with schools given no more than 24 hours’ notice before a team arrives. We are almost 14 weeks on from the start of the conflict on February 28th, but only now are we beginning to get a clearer picture of what it has actually done to buyer behavior. Are people still applying for property mortgage? Or are they delaying it? Are approvals moving at the same pace? A series of studies suggests weight loss drugs may be linked to a lower risk of developing several cancers, including breast, lung and pancreatic cancer. And why do musicians across the Middle East may be missing out financially? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
