In 2024, DIFC saw remarkable growth: revenue rose by 37% to AED 1.78 billion ($485 million), and operating profit surged 55%, reaching AED 1.33 billion. This growth is attributed to internal reforms and an influx of companies, particularly in fintech, asset management, and sustainable finance. DIFC remains competitive as it faces growing competition from Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and Doha.
