Dubai: The Emirates Investment Group has opened an office in Singapore to leverage the growth of the UAE's trade ties with the Far Eastern country.
The opening ceremony was attended by Loh Wai Keong, Deputy Secretary of Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry; Shaikh Tariq Al Qasimi, Chairman of Emirates Investment Group, and several senior officials.
"Our investments in Singapore started a year ago via Emirates Tarian, which is currently providing advisory services to publicly-listed companies on restructuring, bridge financing and other investment banking activities," said Shaikh Tariq. "Our investment plans are currently under due diligence studies, the results of which will be announced when we reach the final stages."
He added, "Since Singapore has managed to succeed due to its prudent economic and financial policies that have subsequently enabled them to overcome difficult econ-omic bumpers, we expect positive growth in the years ahead."
Based in Singapore, Emirates Tarian is a boutique investment firm focused on financial services in the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions, with principal activities in asset management, wealth management and alternative investment services.
