| The National Verified
Question: Do you think property investors are starting to look at Abu Dhabi differently now?

If that perception takes even a slight hit, does it begin to affect demand or prices in a meaningful way? AR, Kuala Lumpur Answer: I would have to say that it can become a very real problem, because the image of Dubai is not superficial. People don't just buy square metres here.
