Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC)

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) was established in 2002 as a strategic initiative of the Government of Dubai to enhance commodity trade flows through the emirate. It has grown into the world's leading free zone, providing the physical, market, and financial infrastructure required to set up and operate a business for various sectors. The zone is home to the Almas Tower, which serves as its headquarters and is a focal point for the global diamond and gold industries. DMCC regulates and facilitates trade in a wide range of commodities, including gold, diamonds, precious metals, tea, coffee, and food grains. By offering 100% business ownership, full capital repatriation, and zero personal and corporate income tax, it has attracted over 21,000 companies from around the globe. The Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) district, which encompasses the DMCC free zone, is one of Dubai's most bustling mixed-use developments, combining residential, commercial, and retail spaces.
