The move involves a commitment from both jurisdictions to enhance mutual co-operation and to better enable distribution of Islamic funds in the DIFC and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong SFC has also agreed to play a part in the DFSA’s graduate training programme by offering short-term placements to UAE nationals employed by the DFSA.
