UAE –  Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a global financial centre in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region, registered robust growth in the first half (H1) of 2022.

The strong performance came in line with DIFC's Strategy 2030 to strengthen the future of finance and boost its economic contribution to Dubai, according to a recent press release.

DIFC posted an 11% year-to-date rise in the total number of new entities to 537 in H1-22. Meanwhile, the number of enterprises operating in the financial hub amounted to 4,031 in the first six months (6M) of 2022, an annual jump of 22% from 3,297.
