Gulf Today
|September 26, 2025
Dubai has been ranked among the world's top four cities for FinTech in the latest Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI), released on Thursday.
-
This prestigious recognition highlights the success of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) in consolidating the emirate's status as the leading global financial centre in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, said, "Dubai's rise as one of the world's preeminent FinTech hubs is a testament to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to not only place Dubai at the forefront of the world's leading cities, but also to shape the future of diverse sectors. Our progress in the latest Global Financial Centres Index has been driven by the goal of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 to make the city one of the world's top four global financial hubs.
