Being an international financial center, ADGM is pleased to operate with other MLETR-compliant jurisdictions with an agenda to provide a solid and sufficient regulatory and technical framework that assists financial institutions in efficiently catering to their corporate clients’ requirements. We strive for further growth and operationalization of digital trade finance in the ADGM and internationally.”
