Financial Centres
in the UAE

The UAE is home to two world-renowned financial hubs: Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). These financial centres provide optimal conditions for businesses in banking, finance, asset management, and related industries. Both ADGM and DIFC have independent regulatory frameworks, tax incentives, and cutting-edge infrastructure, solidifying the UAE’s status as a global financial centre. Companies established in these hubs benefit from 100% foreign ownership, zero corporate tax when meeting the requirements, and operate under comprehensive legal frameworks based on common law.

Benefits of ADGM and DIFC

Support for International Financial Institutions: Both centres are attractive to global financial institutions, family offices, and fintech startups. ADGM and DIFC provide easy access to markets in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, making them ideal bases for companies focused on international expansion.

Regulatory Transparency and Stability: ADGM and DIFC offer high levels of regulatory transparency and stability, making them preferred destinations for global financial institutions. Their robust legal and regulatory frameworks ensure a secure and supportive business environment.

As one of Dubai’s leading financial hubs, DIFC offers direct access to global markets and opportunities for banking, finance, and fintech businesses. Regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), DIFC operates an independent legal system to ensure robust business protection.

Located in Abu Dhabi, ADGM operates under English common law, appealing to companies in asset management, insurance, and fintech. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in ADGM upholds high standards, providing regulatory oversight and support.
