The Dubai International Financial District (DIFC) is a specially created financial hub for the whole of the Middle East. It has been set up to accelerate the repatriation of $1 trillion, which is currently invested & managed outside the region. Located between the London & Hong Kong stock exchanges it is a unique free zone with its own laws.

In recent years, Dubai has established Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City, providing the regional hubs for IT (notably Microsoft and HP) and media businesses (Reuters and CNN). In September 2003, Dubai hosted the 2003 Annual Meetings of the Board of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund.

The success of the Dubai economy is the result of dynamic and visionary leadership, an ultra-modern and efficient infrastructure, the absence of government bureaucracy, and a diversely skilled, well educated, multi-cultural and multi-lingual workforce. It has an abundant supply of housing for expatriate professionals, and excellent schools and centres of further education.
