I had the pleasure of attending Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) this week, where industry leaders, venture capitalists, and finance professionals convened to exchange insights and discuss the latest trends shaping the future of capital markets. Abu Dhabi’s financial landscape is notably influenced by family-owned businesses, which constitute approximately 90% of private companies in the emirate. These enterprises play a pivotal role in the economy, contributing about 60% to the GDP and employing 80% of the private sector workforce. The emirate’s appeal as a global financial hub is further underscored by its growing number of high-net-worth individuals. Recent reports indicate that the UAE is home to 18 billionaires with a combined wealth of $138.7 billion, reflecting a significant increase from previous years. Abu Dhabi’s strategic initiatives and robust economic policies have solidified its status as the “Capital of Capital,” attracting global investors and fostering a dynamic environment for financial growth. Engaging with like-minded professionals at ADFW was both inspiring and insightful. I look forward to witnessing how these discussions will translate into actionable investment strategies and further advancements in the industry. Firechat Meeting Selçuk E.

Thanks HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum This is a fantastic initiative! Strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors is crucial for driving economic growth and innovation in Dubai. The Dubai Economic Agenda D33 is an ambitious plan, and it's great to see a commitment to providing the best conditions for businesses to thrive. I completely agree that the success of businesses is closely tied to the success of Dubai as a whole. By working together, we can create a vibrant and supportive ecosystem that benefits everyone. It's also worth noting that Dubai's ranking among the world's top 10 cities in the Global Power City Index is a testament to its growing reputation as a global business hub. The city's ability to attract top talent, businesses, and investors is a result of its forward-thinking approach and commitment to innovation. Looking forward to seeing the impact of these initiatives and the continued growth of Dubai as a major player in the global economy! #Dubai #D33 #DubaiEconomicAgenda
