The Dubai International Financial Centre introduced a temporary economic facilities package aimed at bolstering its business and retail community as the region recovers from current economic challenges.
The initiative, effective immediately, is designed to ease short-term operational and financial burdens faced by enterprises within the Centre.
His Excellency Arif Amiri, Chief Executive Officer of DIFC Authority commented: “At DIFC, we stand alongside our clients, partners and employees with a clear commitment to provide support and reassurance when it is needed most. The package of temporary relief measures we are introducing reflects a thoughtful and proactive approach to easing immediate pressures.”
Measures include flexible payment options for the retail and trade sectors, alongside installment plans for licence renewal fees. Additional support mechanisms have been established for retail and shopping outlets, benefitting from grace periods on various administrative payments linked to leases, company registrations, data protection compliance, and employee enrolment in the DIFC’s Workplace Provident Fund.
The Dubai Financial Services Authority unveiled temporary regulatory facilities aimed at assisting new entities in obtaining licenses as well as providing support to existing firms under its regulatory framework.
This comprehensive approach is set to stimulate business operations and reinforce the financial landscape within the DIFC.
DIFC claimed the 7th spot within the top ten financial centres earlier this year in a steady advancement in the GFCI standing.
