OMODA C7 set to arrive in the UAE: Designed for desert heat, engineered for future
The UAE, where extreme summer temperatures and long highway drives are the norm, will soon welcome a vehicle that has proven its endurance in the world's hottest climate. In a daring test in Turpan, China, where surface temperatures soared to 76°C, Shawn Xu, chief executive officer of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International, personally put the OMODA C7 through a series of punishing high-temperature evaluations. In one such test, the vehicle cabin was heated to 62°C, only to be cooled back to 28.3°C within 15 minutes, thanks to OMODA's advanced air conditioning technology. This real-world performance makes the C7 ideally suited for the Gulf region's scorching summers.
But the C7 isn't just about climate resilience. It represents a bold leap into the NEO crossover era, merging bold aesthetics with intelligent mobility. Recently awarded the Gold Medal at the French Design Awards, the OMODA C7 boasts a dynamic exterior, rhythmic lighting, and a one-of-a-kind 15.6-inch star-track sliding screen, a first in its class. Inside, the vehicle offers an ultra-quiet VIP cabin equipped with next-gen smart noise cancellation, creating an oasis of calm amid urban chaos or desert travel.
At the heart of the upcoming UAE launch is the C7 SHS (Super Hybrid System), a next-generation super hybrid variant that combines fuel efficiency, electric endurance, and thrilling performance. In global trials, the C7 SHS (Super Hybrid System) completed a record-setting 1,457km Super Hybrid Marathon across diverse terrains, from coastal highways to mountainous backroads. Backed by the revolutionary Super Hybrid System technology, the hybrid model delivers seamless acceleration, best-in-class fuel consumption, and exceptional driving range, making it an ideal partner for long-distance UAE drivers.
'OMODA C7 is more than just a car—it's a lifestyle vehicle created for tomorrow's generation of confident, tech-savvy, and sustainability-focused drivers,' said Xu. 'Its ability to withstand extreme heat, its award-winning design, and its intelligent cabin all reflect our commitment to understanding user needs in every region, especially the Middle East.'
The UAE launch of the OMODA C7 will also feature exclusive test drives, co-creation events with users, and digital-first brand experiences aimed at engaging the modern driver. Whether you're navigating the urban roads of Dubai or setting off on a weekend escape to Liwa, the OMODA C7 promises a futuristic, intelligent, and resilient driving experience.
With its arrival on the UAE roads just around the corner, OMODA C7 is set to become a milestone in the evolution of crossover SUVs, offering an unmatched blend of design, innovation, and real-world performance under the most demanding conditions.

Syria at the crossroads: From sanctions and collapse to redevelopment and reintegration
The pre-2011 Syrian economy, while facing structural challenges, was that of a lower-middle-income country with a functioning industrial base, a significant agricultural sector and nascent potential in tourism and services. That reality was devastated by 14 years of war, violence and sanctions, emerging into a drug-based Captagon economy. Its gross domestic product contracted by more than 50 per cent from its pre-war peak (by 83 per cent if one uses night-time light estimates) between 2010 and 2024. Half the pre-war population has been forcibly displaced, representing lost generations of economic output and potential. About two-thirds of the current population lives in poverty (earning less than $3.65 per capita a day), and more than half the population faces food insecurity. The directly visible indicator of the devastation was the collapse of the local currency (from 47 Syrian pounds per US dollar in 2010 to 14,800 by the end of 2024), as growing budget deficits were financed by the monetary printing press and people shifted into foreign currencies to hedge against near-hyperinflation. The removal of US sanctions and of Syria's "designation as a state sponsor of terrorism' is strategically important. The decision was followed by the EU passing legislation to lift all sanctions, thereby enabling Syria's reintegration into the international economic and financial community. The Gulf and other Arab countries are steadily bringing Syria back into the fold, restoring long-disrupted economic and financial relations. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have settled Syria's arrears to the World Bank, pledged to fund public sector restructuring and rebuild energy infrastructure, signed agreements for major infrastructure and power projects, and the resumption of airline services. Iraq has reopened a main border crossing, and DP World has signed an $800 million deal to develop Tartus Port. Sanctions removal allowed for Syria's renewed participation in the SWIFT payment system, reactivating formal channels for international trade, remittances and financial flows, delivering a powerful antidote to the scenario of hyperinflation and a dominant illicit sector. The removal unlocks a multistage recovery process, sequentially addressing the critical deficits in liquidity, capital and strategic infrastructure investment that currently paralyse the country. Transparent reforms urgent However, the success of this pathway will be contingent on the implementation of credible and transparent, domestic, structural and institutional reforms. Syria needs a comprehensive IMF programme and support from the Arab Monetary Fund and Gulf central banks (possibly through central bank swaps and trade financing lines). The institutions of the central bank, banking supervision and AML/CFT need to be rebuilt. A new monetary and payment system has to be established. The banking and financial sector has to be restructured, and banks recapitalised, while allowing for private banks (including foreign) to re-emerge. The Syrian pound should stay floating until macroeconomic stability has been restored, including through fiscal reform and access to international finance for trade. Importantly, the government and central bank need to rebuild the statistical system for evidence-based policymaking; one cannot govern, reform, regulate and manage what one does not know. Removal of sanctions will allow transfers and remittances through formal channels from the large Syrian expatriate community, a lifeline for returning families, as well as financing reconstruction of housing and businesses. Restoring the banking system means less reliance on the use of cash – helping to revive the formal economy as compared to the dominant informal economy, and also combating money laundering and terrorist finance associated with the production and trade of drugs. Remittances and capital inflows would allow the Central Bank of Syria to rebuild its foreign currency reserves, stabilise the forex market and restore monetary stability to control inflation. The removal of sanctions will also lower the prohibitive risk premium associated with Syria and open the country for the much-needed foreign direct investment to stabilise the economy, and for broader reconstruction funding. The Damascus Securities Exchange, now operational again, could evolve from a symbolic entity into another channel of financing, allowing the government and Syrian businesses to tap into local and international capital for the first time since 2009. Tapping energy potential The country's substantial, largely unexploited, onshore and offshore oil and gas reserves could become an important source of reconstruction finance and job creation. Strategically and importantly, the removal of sanctions would allow oil and gas pipelines to be reopened, and new ones built; pre-civil war, Syria produced up to 400,000 barrels a day of crude versus between 80,000-100,000 bpd this year. Reactivating existing wells and oil export infrastructure could become a major source of revenue and foreign exchange, dramatically improving Syria's fiscal position and its ability to reconstruct the devastated country, and bring in international funding. New pipelines linking oil and gas from the Gulf (notably Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi) and Iraq to the Mediterranean would provide a strategic alternative to maritime routes through the Straits of Hormuz and Red Sea. Azerbaijan and Syria signed a preliminary agreement on July 12, pledging co-operation in the energy sector – to enable export of gas from Azerbaijan to Syria, through Turkey – and help in rebuilding Syria's energy infrastructure. Over the medium and longer term, a new, transformative energy infrastructure and map linking the hydrocarbon-rich regions of the Gulf and Iraq to the Mediterranean coast can be developed: a major building block in stabilising and helping to redevelop Syria. The lifting of sanctions is a critical initial step supporting Syria in emerging from a vicious cycle of destruction, economic collapse and illicit activity into a virtuous circle of reconstruction, redevelopment, regional and international reintegration. The realisation of this road map requires a commitment from Syria to undertake essential reforms in governing, the rule of law and institutional transparency. Only then can the country hope to attract and retain the human and financial capital needed to rebuild its economy, regain investor trust, and reclaim its historic role at a vital geostrategic crossroads.

Ripple Partners Ctrl Alt for Dubai Tokenisation Drive
Ripple has formalised a partnership with UAE-based tokenisation platform Ctrl Alt to deliver institutional-grade digital asset custody services as part of a landmark initiative by the Dubai Land Department to digitise property ownership using blockchain infrastructure. The agreement will enable Ctrl Alt to leverage Ripple's custody solution to store and manage tokenised property title deeds on the XRP Ledger, as Dubai intensifies its push to integrate advanced digital frameworks into its real estate sector. The project marks a significant stride in DLD's broader strategy to streamline property transactions and increase market transparency by replacing conventional title documentation with blockchain-native digital representations. Ripple's institutional custody platform, designed for banks and financial institutions, will play a central role in securing and scaling the digital assets underlying Dubai's real estate tokenisation programme. Ripple's solution will ensure regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and asset security as property titles are issued and exchanged through blockchain mechanisms. ADVERTISEMENT The announcement positions Ripple as a key player in the UAE's drive toward regulated digital asset ecosystems. The partnership also represents Ripple's first custody deployment in the UAE, expanding its global digital asset custody network into the Middle East and further solidifying its presence across EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Ctrl Alt, which had disclosed its participation in the DLD project earlier, is building tokenisation infrastructure tailored for real-world assets such as real estate. The firm will integrate Ripple's technology to facilitate the issuance, transfer, and management of tokenised property deeds while ensuring institutional-grade security standards. The Real Estate Tokenisation Project aims to transform Dubai's property registry system by offering a fully digital framework that eliminates physical documentation and manual recordkeeping. Through the initiative, the DLD intends to increase efficiency in property ownership transfers, reduce fraud risks, and create a foundation for smart contract-enabled real estate solutions. By leveraging the XRP Ledger's speed and cost efficiency, the project also seeks to attract global investors and developers to participate in tokenised real estate offerings governed by transparent, immutable ledger protocols. Ripple's expansion into the UAE's digital asset space follows its broader global strategy to deliver enterprise-grade blockchain tools tailored to financial infrastructure, a focus that has intensified as global regulators and institutions begin adopting tokenisation at scale. Ripple's digital custody division — established through its acquisition of Metaco in 2023 — has emerged as a core offering, providing secure storage infrastructure for tokenised assets in both public and permissioned blockchain environments. Metaco's digital asset custody platform, which now underpins Ripple's institutional offering, was originally designed to meet the requirements of global banks and has been adopted by several financial institutions in Europe and Asia. Its integration with Ripple's payment and liquidity tools enables a seamless experience for enterprises managing digital asset portfolios alongside tokenisation and cross-border payment rails. ADVERTISEMENT Ripple's custodial framework offers support for a wide range of tokenised assets, including stablecoins, real-world assets, and CBDCs. It provides multi-tier security, granular permission controls, and compliance features needed for institutional applications. The company's leadership has highlighted tokenisation as a core theme in the evolution of financial infrastructure, predicting that trillions of dollars worth of real-world assets will migrate to blockchain ecosystems in the coming decade. Ctrl Alt's involvement in the DLD-led project comes as Dubai cements its role as a global testbed for blockchain innovation, with a supportive regulatory regime, ambitious smart city initiatives, and a growing appetite for Web3 integration. The company has built its platform to allow regulators, issuers, and investors to interact within a compliant digital asset ecosystem. Its participation in the project is expected to open the door for additional applications of tokenisation beyond real estate, including commodities, equities, and infrastructure. Dubai's real estate market, historically characterised by high-value transactions and global investor interest, is seen as an ideal candidate for tokenisation. By converting ownership documents into digital tokens recorded on a blockchain, authorities aim to offer fractional ownership models, enhance liquidity, and enable secondary market trading. The shift could also reduce costs and settlement times, while allowing retail and institutional investors to access real estate markets with lower capital thresholds. Ripple's role in the project is expected to be pivotal in meeting security, governance, and compliance requirements for digital custody. The partnership strengthens Ripple's position as a go-to infrastructure provider for tokenisation use cases and reflects its strategic intent to deepen engagement in jurisdictions with progressive digital asset frameworks.

Salama Joins Digital Push for Wider Takaful Reach
Salama has partnered with digital insurance broker Policybazaar. ae to expand access to Life Takaful coverage in the UAE, aiming to bridge protection gaps through a fully Shariah-compliant digital platform. The move brings Salama's suite of Takaful life insurance products to Policybazaar. ae's online marketplace, a platform already known for simplifying access to financial services through regulatory-compliant digital tools. This collaboration is being positioned as a strategic leap toward broader financial inclusion and enhanced customer convenience, targeting families across the country who seek transparent and ethical insurance solutions. The partnership reflects a growing convergence between traditional Takaful providers and the fintech-driven distribution model reshaping the insurance industry. With an increasing number of UAE residents looking to secure long-term family welfare through ethical financial instruments, demand for digital-first life coverage has grown sharply. ADVERTISEMENT Rakesh Sudhakaran, chief commercial officer of Salama, described the initiative as a defining moment in the company's vision to modernise Takaful offerings without compromising on core principles. He emphasised that the alignment with Policybazaar. ae supports the company's drive to serve a younger, tech-savvy customer base seeking purpose-driven protection. The announcement follows a wave of reforms and digitisation drives in the insurance sector under the oversight of the Central Bank of the UAE, which now regulates the industry. The regulator has encouraged the adoption of InsurTech to improve operational efficiency, enhance consumer access, and uphold prudential norms. In this context, Salama's collaboration with a digital-first platform like Policybazaar. ae fits within the broader policy direction to scale up inclusive and digital insurance solutions. Policybazaar. ae, a UAE-regulated platform licensed by the Insurance Authority and the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, has become a prominent digital aggregator, catering to customers seeking transparent comparisons and paperless policy issuance. Its tie-up with Salama brings Life Takaful products — designed with ethical investing principles and community-based risk sharing — into sharper focus within an evolving insurance landscape. The UAE has witnessed strong momentum in the Takaful segment, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove greater awareness about the need for robust family protection instruments. Salama, established in 1979 and recognised as one of the longest-operating Takaful providers globally, is leveraging its legacy to tap into shifting consumer preferences that now favour digital accessibility alongside traditional values. The Life Takaful market in the UAE remains significantly underpenetrated compared to general insurance. Industry observers note that one of the primary barriers has been the absence of easily accessible, tailored plans that reflect customers' religious and ethical beliefs while meeting modern expectations for convenience. This gap has prompted providers like Salama to seek partnerships with digitally native brokers to enhance market coverage. ADVERTISEMENT The partnership also highlights a key trend in the insurance sector: the migration of conventional insurers and Takaful operators toward digital transformation strategies. Platforms like Policybazaar. ae enable insurers to reach a wider demographic without the constraints of legacy distribution networks, offering scalability and faster turnaround times. As the UAE pushes toward becoming a digitally enabled economy, insurance players are recalibrating their models to align with national objectives. Salama's focus on embedding Life Takaful within digital ecosystems is aligned with this strategic orientation. Through a structured and compliant digital platform, customers will be able to access various Takaful solutions, submit applications online, and receive policy documents digitally, reducing administrative burdens and improving customer experience. Although Policybazaar. ae has collaborated with multiple insurers, this partnership with Salama marks a significant step in expanding Shariah-compliant offerings. The two entities plan to jointly develop awareness campaigns and financial literacy initiatives aimed at increasing consumer understanding of Life Takaful benefits and addressing prevailing misconceptions that have historically limited adoption. Salama's approach combines community-based protection principles with a firm commitment to innovation, reflecting its adaptability to changing market dynamics. The company continues to refine its offerings, with an emphasis on transparency, competitive pricing, and customer empowerment. By embedding these principles into a digital distribution framework, the firm is actively positioning itself as a modern Takaful leader. The UAE's demographic profile, comprising a young, digitally oriented population, further strengthens the rationale behind the digital push. As financial services become more integrated with mobile-first platforms and on-demand services, customer expectations have shifted decisively toward seamless digital onboarding, policy management, and claims processing — all areas that the Salama-Policybazaar. ae partnership aims to address.
