A day at the DIFC




The Dubai International Finance Center (DIFC) is a 110 acre free zone. Standard Chartered's main office in Dubai is @ DIFC. Companies in the DIFC are eligible for benefits such as a zero tax rate on profits, 100 per cent foreign ownership, no restrictions on foreign exchange, operational support and business continuity facilities. The DIFC was opened in 2004 to create more of an environment for growth and jobs in the UAE. The SCB office is really nice! I included a picture of the lobby.

At the end of the day I took the SCB shuttle back to the Al Fardaan office and then walked home. Isn't the shuttle cute?!
