Another problem is that the emirate is also suffering from the economical crisis, due to the exuberance of immigrants and the negative interest rates. These are the three reasons why a wealthy state like Dubai can have a financial breakdown. (The economist)

Great topic. Interesting title.
Better replace Dubai by 'the emirate' in the second stce and repeat Dubai in the third.

exuberance? Better: large numbers? (Can't see why this leads to a crisis, though.)
