We will look at the advantages of Dubai's offshore bank accounts while looking at the interest rates on time deposits, which is the most basic asset management method.

Differences in returns seen in simple time deposits
When opening a bank account in Dubai, the base currency is UAE Dilham (AED). AEDs pegging to the dollar are recommended because there is no risk to the dollar and you can expect a satisfactory return.
In addition, major banks can choose from a variety of currencies such as US dollars, Japanese yen, euros and Singapore dollars.

Regular time deposit
The interest rate on the fixed deposits of each bank fluctuates according to the interest rate set by the UAE Central Bank (strictly speaking, the interest rate set by the US Federal Reserve Bank because it is pegged with the dollar).
For example, the one-year interest rate of AED (UAE Dilham) is 2%, but as of October 30, 2010, the interest rate of the US Federal Reserve Bank is extremely close to 0%, so this 2% interest rate is the lowest level. I can say. As the economy recovers, interest rates on a one-year basis will rise to around 5% (or even higher in some cases). (It is already at this level in the Australian dollar, which has a high central bank interest rate.)
In addition, the interest rate will be even higher for a premier account with a large deposit amount (like a premier account in Japan). (* Example 2)

point
- Currently, Australian dollar-denominated accounts have the highest interest rates. (Depends on central bank interest rate trends. Central bank interest rates vary depending on the economic situation of the country.)
- The UAE Dilham (AED), which is pegging to the dollar, is expected to have a relatively satisfactory return, although it is currently at its lowest level under the influence of the Federal Reserve Bank's zero interest rate policy.
- Interest rates are too low for Japanese yen accounts, so there is no point in creating a time deposit account. (Still, the interest rate is better than the "super time deposit" provided by a major Japanese bank.)

Reference example of fixed deposit interest rate / return
Here, we will compare the case where Japanese Yen 10 million yen is used for (1) Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Super 300 regular operation and (2) the case where Emirates NBD High Yield Premium Deposit (1 year) is used. (Calculated as 1 dirham = 22 yen, not taking into account fluctuations in exchange rates one year later.)
(1) 10,000,000 (deposit) x 0.0003 (interest rate 0.03%) = JPY 3,000 (interest rate)
Interest of "3000 yen" with a one-year time deposit. In addition, about 20% tax will be deducted from here.
(2) JPY 10,000,000 = AED 454,545
454,545 (deposit) x 0.04 (interest rate 4.00%) = AED 18,181 (interest rate)
AED 18,181 = 400,004 yen (no tax)
Deposit the same amount for the same year, and (1) is less than 3,000 yen, and (2) is 400,000 yen. You can see that even a simple time deposit makes such a difference.
