"The long and fruitful history of capital flows between the markets of East Asia and the Middle East continues with the opening of BTMU's office at the DIFC. BTMU's arrival here will contribute immensely to the corporate, government and project financing relationship between Japan and the wider Gulf region," said Nasser Al Shaali, Chief Executive Officer, DIFC Authority.
Hideki Gohbara, General Manager of the BTMU Dubai office, said: "The opening of an office at the DIFC, which has already attracted a number of international financial institutions and investors, will allow us to expand on new opportunities in this dynamic market as well as meet the growing needs of our existing customers."
The licence for BTMU is in line with the bank's strategy of achieving the highest level of service, reliability and coverage for its customers across the globe.
