Dubai: Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) yesterday said DIFC Week, its annual programme of conferences featuring the financial and economic leaders, will be held from November 23 to 26.
Under the theme Sustaining our Oasis of Prosperity in a Turbulent World, DIFC Week 2008 will be devoted to discussing regional growth prospects in the light of current global developments.
Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, governor of DIFC said: "Spurred by globalisation and reform, the Middle East region is enjoying very strong economic growth. However, as growth transforms the region's economy, we need to devise clear strategies to ensure our growth can be sustained and enhanced. DIFC Week provides a platform for thought leaders from the region and across the world to engage in a discussion on the critical issues that determine our region's future."
The week will start with DIFC's fourth anniversary celebrations followed by a golf tournament and art and cultural shows.
