UAE Central Bank follows US Federal Reserve move

As the year gears up to down its shutters, it's time to put aside the trivia of gloom and doom and open our minds to a new chapter. We, at Khaleej Times, took it upon ourselves to create a product that - we hope! - will have a far longer shelf-life than your usual regular dose of news and views have: 17 talking points (to welcome 2017) that are whacky, freewheeling, uber cool - yet to the point, on the ball. Irreverent yet relevant.
The best part? They are all personalised. Imagine a Bridget Jones's Diary instead of a ramble on singlehood. Hooked already?
From singlehood gaining a brand-new currency to ripped jeans being the go-to item for fashionistas to why molecular gastronomy has had an atomic explosion - these 'buzz points' get a reinvention for our readers.
Team KT undertook a period of silent introspection (silent, because, we were told, the best ideas are always formed offline), and then proceeded into a noisy brainstorm in order to get to the bottom of what the buzziest, stickiest themes could be. There were scores of ideas compiled, disseminated, filtered... and, in the end, we had a list we thought would be the best fit for the eclectic melting pot that is Dubai.
We do hope you have as much of a blast reading 'Sixteen Going on Seventeen' - that's what our special package is titled - as we had been working on the project.
Plus, we present the finale of The Way We Were, focusing on extraordinary achievements of ordinary people. And the crowning glory is the lead photograph of an athlete who lost gold but won glory.
We wish you, our readers, a happy New Year and promise you many more reading delights and visual treats in 2017.
