Dubai – 28 September 2026
China Securities has established a regional presence at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), further strengthening financial and investment links between the UAE and China.
The Beijing-headquartered and publicly listed securities firm has received a licence from the DIFC Authority to establish its regional office at the Centre. China Securities is a leading Chinese investment bank with capabilities spanning equity and debt capital markets, investment banking, asset management and institutional services.
The firm has also been authorised by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the independent regulator overseeing financial services conducted in or from the DIFC.
The new office will serve as a strategic base for China Securities to expand its engagement with clients, investors and financial institutions across the Middle East. It is also expected to support greater connectivity between Chinese, UAE and international capital markets.
The move further highlights Dubai’s position as a key gateway for investment and capital flows between Asia and the Middle East, while supporting Chinese financial institutions seeking to expand their regional operations.
China Securities’ establishment in the DIFC follows sustained engagement between the company and the financial centre. Through this collaboration, the DIFC has supported China Securities in exploring opportunities in Dubai, developing its understanding of the regional market and advancing its international expansion plans.
China Securities becomes the latest Chinese investment bank to establish a presence within the DIFC’s growing community of Chinese financial institutions. The cluster includes Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, China Construction Bank, China International Capital Corporation Limited, China Merchants Bank International and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, alongside other major securities and financial services firms.
China’s five largest banks collectively account for more than 30 per cent of total assets in the DIFC’s Banking and Capital Markets sector, underlining the growing importance of the Centre as a hub for Chinese financial institutions operating in the region.
