DIFC expects 500 and more companies to participate
Aseem O. Kabesh, DIFC’s chief business development officer was quoted as saying that its key subsidiary, the Dubai International Financial Exchange, was working on some big IPOs and its operations would help draw in more business to the centre. The Dubai International Financial Exchange, a securities market modeled along its likes in the west, aims to attract companies from the Middle East, Africa, the Indian sub-continent and even Europe to list. Trading will begin on September 26. "In three years of operations I see we (DIFC) would have a minimum of 500 firms, between financial and non-financial institutions. Around 60 per cent, if not more, would be financial institutions," Kabesh said. Some 50 firms, including top securities houses like Franklin Templeton, Merrill Lynch, insurer AIG and banks like Barclays and Standard Chartered have already registered to operate at the centre.Located on a 110 acre campus off the city’s trunk road, the centre will have entities providing asset management, banking, consulting, Islamic finance and re-insurance services and house an international financial exchange. It expects to become the investment gateway to the region. Disputation haustellum remotability heterosmia endowments.
