Finance World Magazine
Edition: June 2025
As we reach the midpoint of 2025, the UAE continues to demonstrate resilience and growth across finance, technology, and innovation. Shifting geopolitical landscapes are playing a key role in shaping economic developments across the region.
Our June edition, The Pulse of Progress: Navigating the Future of Finance in the UAE, offers in-depth insights into the nation’s evolving financial direction from foreign direct investment trends and retail sector momentum to transformative global forces.
This month’s cover features Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman of OMNIYAT, who has elevated the standards of luxury living. The group’s recent USD 500 million Green Sukuk listing on Nasdaq Dubai reflects its commitment to sustainable and visionary development.
We hope it serves as a valuable resource for professionals, policymakers, and decision-makers who are actively shaping the next chapter of finance in the UAE and beyond.
