This is Euromoney’s deal of the year not just because of the challenge of achieving it, but because of what would have happened had it failed.

Jebel Ali Free Zone covers 55 square kilometres around Dubai’s Jebel Ali port. It’s a vital piece of infrastructure, both in terms of global logistics – it is the biggest container port between Rotterdam and Singapore – and because it is a jewel to Dubai itself, accounting for 21% of overall GDP in 2009, according to PwC.
