Emaar shares ‘to rise’

Emaar Properties, the biggest property developer in the Middle East with the heaviest weight on the Dubai Financial Market is poised for positive movement, with the UAE government taking steps to stave off a crash in the domestic property sector. Emaar on Thursday saw its best finish in nearly two weeks, ending up 9.76% to Dh2.81, partially recovering the steep losses it suffered earlier in the week.
