Al Tayer takes helm at DIFC

The newly appointed governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has pledged to build on its success in promoting Dubai as a vital hub for capital and investment.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Saturday issued a decree naming Ahmed Humaid al Tayer to replace Omar bin Sulaiman, who had led the DIFC since its creation in late 2004.

“We are here to establish an international financial centre for the UAE, to serve the region and to co-operate with other centres from Hong Kong to Frankfurt and London,” said Mr al Tayer, who is also the chairman of Emirates NBD, the largest UAE bank by assets.
