THE IN SILENT TRAVELING TALES: LE SILENTI INDAGINI DELL'ISPETTORE MUTO
2008-03-03 10:11:00 Aeroporto di Abu Dhabi, Emirati Arabi / Abu Dhabi International Airport, United Arab EmiratesSono le 2.30 del mattino. Il mio aereo, diretto in estremo oriente, compie uno scalo intermedio ad Abu Dhabi. La sosta, benchè ampiamente prevista, non per questo risulta meno fastidiosa.Ma chi sta parlando ?Ho dimenticato di dirvelo e mi presento: sono un ispettore di polizia, P. Muto, per verità un sovraintendente capo, come molti vorrebbero spingermi a dire. Il mio ritratto è presto fatto: un misero impiegato con un matrimonio fallito alle spalle. Cambiando l?ordine dei fattori, un impiegato fallito con un misero matrimonio alle spalle, il risultato e la piattezza della mia vita rimane la stessa. Per cercare di evadere dal grigiore della mia esistenza avevo deciso di intraprendere un viaggio, in quell'estate del '94, sfruttando gli arretrati di tre anni di ferie mai godute. Mi ero recato in una agenzia di viaggio dove una logorroica signorina mi aveva travolto con un torrente di chiacch...
Cash-Rich, Publicity-Shy, Abu Dhabi Fund Draws Scrutiny
2008-02-28 20:28:00 Abu Dhabi has about 9 percent of the world’s oil and 0.02 percent of its population. The result is a surfeit of petrodollars, much of which is funneled into a secretive, government-controlled investment fund that is helping to shift the balance of power in the financial world.the fund recently formed a small team that is now buying big stakes in Western companies. This unit masterminded ADIA’s $7.5 billion investment in Citigroup, the nation’s largest bank, in November. It has also taken a large position in Toll Brothers, one of the country’s biggest home builders.ADIA is the largest of the world’s sovereign wealth funds, giant pools of money controlled by cash-rich governments, particularly in Asia and Middle East. But Abu Dhabi, the wealthiest of the seven Arab emirates, says little about its fund. Few outsiders know for sure where ADIA invests — or even how much money it controls. And secrecy breeds hyperbole; some estimates of the fund’s size surpass $1 trillion. ...

Abu Dhabi to Get Futuristic Green City
2008-02-10 23:27:00 Abu Dhabi has started to build what it says is the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste car-free city.Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co., also known as Masdar, will spend $22 billion developing the carbon- neutral city that will save the equivalent of $2 billion in oil usage over 25 years. The green city will use 75 percent less power than a conventional city, and less than half the amount of desalinated water.There is also a financial payoff. Masdar fits neatly into Abu Dhabi's efforts to diversify from dwindling oil wealth. Its developers say that it will create 70,000 new jobs and boost the UAE's GDP by 2 per cent.The project is unquestionably ambitious and forward looking not only in scope but also in the goals it is trying to achieve. Surely, Abu Dhabi has set a precedent and the pace on a regional and international level.
