His wife is the major shareholder in Four Seasons Health Care LTD, the largest private health care group in the United Kingdom.

阿聯酋政府顧問委員會的負責人兼發言人艾爾-古拉爾(Abdul Aziz al-Ghurair)在達沃斯表示，阿聯酋應該將部分主權財富基金用於重振經濟，隨著需求的下滑，某些房地產建設項目必須推後。
他還稱，政府必須註入更多的流動性來推動經濟發展，但得益於資本充足率很高，目前阿聯酋銀行業的狀況良好。
阿聯酋是世界上最大型主權財富基金的基地，這個海灣國家為未來的發展儲備了大量的石油收入。一些分析師估計，阿布扎比投資局的資產價值約5000億美元。
古拉爾在參加世界經濟論壇時向記者透露：“我們已積聚了3000億至5000億美元的巨額儲備。我們可以將這些錢投入一些項目。我們應該在什麼時候花它們呢？這些錢是為了應對不時之需的。我們必須加以調整，將錢用於經濟增長。我們必須對某些項目進行再評估。我們必須推遲房地產方向的項目，現在這方面的需求已不復存在。但是，政府仍在致力於加快基礎設施建設。”去年九月以來，阿聯酋央行和財政部已共同提供了1200億迪拉姆(約合326.7億美元)的緊急融資，幫助銀行業應對嚴峻的信貸環境。
古拉爾還稱：“為保持經濟發展，我們必須註入更多的流動性。”據《福布斯》雜誌的排名，古拉爾家族是世界最富有的家族之一。過去五個月中，隨著銀行因借貸成本上漲和一些房地產貸款客戶可能違約而緊縮銀根，阿聯酋的新貸款量持續萎縮。阿聯酋央行估計，作為阿拉伯世界第二大經濟體，阿聯酋今年的信貸增長率將降至10%以下，而在截止去年六月的一年中，這一成長率高達50%多。
