The dynamic and global DIFC community of over 1,500 firms and 21,000 people, which together make up the region’s leading international financial centre, today came together to mark the UAE Flag Day 2016. The Governor of DIFC, H.E. Essa Kazim, raised the flag at 11am in DIFC at a ceremony on the day that H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan became President of the UAE.

H.E. Essa Kazim commented, ‘˜our community has come together as one to embrace the country’s values of unity, diversity and openness to the world; a spirit at the heart of DIFC as a gateway to the opportunities our region has to offer. Looking to the future and reflecting on our aspirations, we are proud to offer new options to our people. Thank you to the leadership for their foresight as we diversify for our next chapter of national prosperity
