The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) is a commodities exchange and free-trade zone in the United Arab Emirates. It is located in the Jumeirah Lake Towers district of Dubai. The DMCC was created in 2002 and deals in four main sectors: precious commodities (e.g., gold, diamonds); energy; steel and metals and agricultural commodities (e.g., tea, cotton).
In August 2020, the Investment Corporation of Dubai, a sovereign wealth fund, became the parent company of the autonomous DMCC as part of a major restructuring.
Established in 2002 with the mission of establishing Dubai as a commodity trading and enterprise gateway to the Middle East and beyond, DMCC has since grown to become one of its most important economic drivers, today accounting for 15% of all foreign direct investment in the emirate.
DMCC is also one of the city’s most dynamic and exciting destinations, home to world-class mixed-use developments Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Uptown Dubai, which together accommodate more than 100,000 working professionals, residents and visitors.
