Abu Dhabi works to lure top investors to fledgling financial hub - FT.com:



"Abu Dhabi’s new financial centre has appointed a veteran Dubai regulator to oversee its launch and lure top global banks to the wealthy capital of the United Arab Emirates.



Abu Dhabi Global Market, a financial free zone under formation in the capital, has appointed Jan Bladen as “executive adviser and programme lead for ADGM”, reporting to the free zone’s chairman, Emirati official Ahmed al-Sayegh.



Mr Bladen, former chief operating officer of the Dubai International Financial Centre’s regulatory authority, will co-ordinate the establishment of the ADGM’s regulatory authority, legal infrastructure and registrar as the capital seeks to boost its financial sector and diversify its economy."
