WHY DIFC WHY DIFC WHY DIFC

DIFC

Why DIFC?

Dubai International Financial Centre is a leading financial hub in the region for business, fintech, and lifestyle. Launched in 2004, DIFC has grown to be one of the top 10 onshore financial centres in the world, with an unsurpassed reputation as where the discerning work, dine and enjoy the city.

Instigating a paradigm shift in business structure, DIFC pioneered a Common Law framework, with an independent regulator (DFSA) and an independent English language Common Law judiciary – DIFC Courts.

Since then, DIFC has matured into more than just an office address: it is a lifestyle destination, with retail outlets, residential apartments, art galleries, a diverse and exclusive dining and hotel portfolio, and a thriving community feel.

DIFC is also one of the only two financial free zones in the UAE. It offers 100% foreign ownership, as opposed to establishing a financial services firm in the Dubai mainland, where only part foreign ownership is permitted.
