Partnership with the Dubai International Financial Centre

DIFC is the financial and business hub connecting the region's emerging markets with the markets of Asia, the Americas and Europe. Since its launch in 2004, DIFC, a purposely built financial free zone, has been committed to encouraging economic growth and development in the region through its strong financial and business infrastructure.

Currently, DIFC's client base comprises almost 900 active registered firms, including:

• 17 of the world's top 25 banks

Around 13,000 employees operate in an open environment complemented by international legal and regulatory standards.

DIFC offers its member companies benefits such as 100 percent foreign ownership, zero percent tax rate, with no restriction on capital convertibility or profit repatriation. DIFC has its own independent financial and ancillary services regulatory body, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). It also has the DIFC Courts, which is an independent common law judiciary based in DIFC with jurisdiction over civil and commercial disputes in or relating to the Centre. DIFC is built upon a modern legal, regulatory and physical infrastructure which makes it the destination of choice for Financial Services firms establishing a presence in the region.
