DUBAI MULTI COMMODITIES CENTRE (DMCC)
The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has been created as a strategic goal of
the Dubai Government to establish a commodity market place in Dubai. The DMCC was
launched on April 24th 2002 by a decree from the Government of Dubai.
The DMCC offers a unique opportunity for participants in a wide range of metals
and commodities industries. It provides facilities that bring together the gold trade,
the diamond trade (housing a Diamond Exchange), and trading in other selected
commodities. The Centre aims to attract key players throughout the entire value chain of
each of these industry sectors, together with relevant support industries such as finance,
logistics and insurance.
The DMCC offers ownership of business premises in addition to all other standard
Free Zone services. DMCC’s facilities will include a commercial tower, refineries and
manufacturing complex, with close proximity to Jebel Ali Port. Plots of land have also
been allocated for the larger manufacturing units and refineries. DMCC’s activities are
organised into three main areas which are Gold and Precious Metals, Diamond and
Colored Stones and Commodities.
