The Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region is fast becoming one of the world’s most exciting places for online trading. Thanks to its dynamic markets, cutting-edge technologies, and ever-expanding potential, traders from all over the globe are turning their attention to Mena.

At the heart of this trading landscape is Dubai, a city that has positioned itself as the go-to hub for traders eager to take advantage of the fast-growing financial markets in the region. Driven by both local demand and international investments, traders in the region are finding more ways to diversify their portfolios and enhance their strategies.

Dubai’s favourable regulatory framework has made it an attractive destination for many forex companies, with the resulting influx of firms providing traders with a wide range of platforms, instruments, and tools to grow their trading skills and capitalise on the various market opportunities.

According to the 2024 UAE Leverage Trading Report by Investment Trends, the number of reactivated and ongoing FX/CFD traders has notably increased. This highlights the ongoing regional demand from investors and reinforces the UAE’s growing prominence as a leading force in the global online trading landscape.

Dubai has also become a magnet for multinational financial firms, alongside establishing itself as a key destination for iFX EXPO Dubai 2025, the largest and most anticipated online trading expo in the world.
