The UAE is an important financial centre with strong links not only to the region but also to other financial centres in Europe, Asia and North America. The financial sector is modern and outward looking. The UAE's financial sector, which has experienced impressive development over the past few years, continues to act as an important driver in the astounding growth of the UAE economy as a whole. Consequently, it represents a vital component in carrying out the ambitious plans for the UAE established by its visionary leaders. Abu Dhabi Holding's diverse portfolio of investments in the Abu Dhabi's financial sector, as well as in those of the UAE and entire MENA region, ensure that we are properly positioned to benefit from and contribute to the successful realization of this vision.
