Why Dubai?
For decades, the economic development of The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was based on their crude oil and gas reserves. However, in the early nineties, the UAE federal government decided to pursue a diversification program aiming to reduce its monetary dependence to oil.
As a result, UAE grew an appetite for developing its financial service sector, aiming to become a regional financial centre.
International Financial Centres (IFCs) serve as clusters of excellence and expertise in economic and financial services and strive to deliver inclusive and sustainable development as part of an integrated network. IFCs display modern networks and infrastructures, flexible yet sound regulation and the ability to attract foreign investors.
