Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has announced plans to launch a new Financial Centre designed to become the backbone of its ecosystem, a hub uniting trade finance, fintech innovation, and digital-asset solutions under one roof.
The announcement came as DMCC concluded its latest international roadshow in Vietnam, where it hosted events in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to deepen trade ties between the UAE and Southeast Asia.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said: “Building on the launch of DMCC Wealth Hub and our landmark agreement with VARA, the digital-asset regulator, we are creating a dedicated Financial Centre that will connect our 26,000 member companies more directly to the global financial system. The centre will anchor trade finance, fintech innovation and digital-asset solutions across Dubai and beyond. It will form the financial spine of the DMCC ecosystem, bringing together banks, fintechs, accelerators and investment firms within a single, integrated community, advancing the UAE’s ambition to position Dubai among the world’s foremost financial hubs."

Further details are expected to be revealed at the Dubai Precious Metals Conference in November, marking a new chapter in DMCC’s evolution from a commodities powerhouse to a diversified trade and technology-driven business hub.
It is worth noting that the Vietnam roadshow also highlighted DMCC’s role in supporting Southeast Asian businesses, especially in light of the UAE–Vietnam Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
Non-oil trade between the two nations reached $7 billion in the first half of 2025, up nearly 17% year-on-year, with projections to hit $20 billion in the coming years.
