DIFC will be the first world class, international centre serving the region which includes the Middle East, East and North Africa, the Caspian states and the Indian SubContinent. The DIFC is designed to span the time zones not covered by New York, London and Hong Kong. It will complete the missing quarter in the 24 hour, 7 day week, global financial system. The DIFC will act as a catalyst to the region's economic development-just as Wall Street, the City of London and Hong Kong have contributed to the growth of the US, European and Asian economies.
