Dubai Chambers has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HSBC Bank Middle East Limited to support the expansion of local companies into global markets and enhance the ability of international companies to establish and grow their businesses in Dubai.
Under the terms of the MoU, the two parties will collaborate to explore banking services for international companies establishing their operations in Dubai with the support of Dubai Chambers, as well as general services for Dubai’s business community.
The agreement is designed to advance the growth of local and international companies operating in Dubai and support their expansion at the local, regional, and global levels.
HSBC will provide services including global trade finance and local account opening.
Meanwhile, Dubai Chambers will support HSBC’s global clients who are interested in investing in Dubai and growing their businesses from the emirate.
The MoU was signed as part of the Global Partnerships Programme, an initiative launched to accelerate Dubai Chambers’ business expansion and attraction efforts through collaborations with world-class service providers across eight trade categories.
The Global Partnership Programme supports the objectives of the Dubai Global initiative, which seeks to attract foreign direct investments (FDI) to the emirate and support Dubai-based companies in exploring new business opportunities.
