Senior UAE officials and DMCC executives met leading gold refiners at Uptown Tower to ensure operational continuity and trade alignment across the sector amid ongoing regional tensions affecting global trade flows.
DUBAI: When global trade comes under pressure, Dubai’s gold sector does not sit back and wait. It gets around the table and finds solutions.
Senior UAE officials and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) executives convened a high-level meeting with leading gold refiners at Uptown Tower, as regional tensions continue to test supply chains and trade flows across the world’s most important commodity corridors.
Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, and Fahad Al Gergawi, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, joined DMCC Executive Chairman and CEO Ahmed Bin Sulayem for discussions with key players across the gold value chain. The conversation centred on maintaining operations, addressing near-term logistical considerations, and ensuring tight coordination across the sector during a challenging period.
Participants reaffirmed the sector’s strong alignment and highlighted forward-looking trade priorities, with officials describing the resilience of Dubai’s gold sector as a defining strength in the current environment. DMCC said the discussions also reinforced its role in supporting a stable, transparent, and globally connected marketplace for precious metals.
The refiners at the table represented the full weight of Dubai’s gold industry, including Emirates Gold, SAM Precious Metals, Emirates Minting, MTM&O Gold Refinery, Prestige Precious Metals, International Precious Metal Refiners, Namoh Gold Refinery, and Al Etihad Gold.
Dubai has long been one of the world’s most important hubs for gold trading and refining, and the speed with which officials moved to convene this meeting sends a clear message to global markets: business continues, supply chains are being managed, and Dubai’s position as a trusted centre for precious metals trade is not up for debate.
In uncertain times, that kind of steady, proactive governance is exactly what the market needs to hear.
