Dubai's Arbitration Hub Ranked Among Global Leaders in GAR 100 Report
The Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) has secured notable positions in the prestigious GAR 100 Data Report, solidifying Dubai's role as a global arbitration hub. Published by the influential Global Arbitration Review (GAR), the report ranks Dubai as the fifth most popular arbitration seat worldwide by case volume, surpassing over 400 arbitration seats, including major cities like New York and Geneva. Additionally, Dubai ranks ninth globally in terms of the total value of arbitration cases, outperforming cities such as Seoul and Frankfurt. DIAC itself earned recognition as the tenth most active arbitration centre, based on the number of cases handled, and ninth for case value. This places DIAC ahead of more than 315 arbitration centres globally, reflecting the growing trust in Dubai's arbitration ecosystem. Notably, Dubai is the only arbitration seat and DIAC the only centre from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region included in the top 10 rankings. Jehad Kazim, Executive Director of DIAC, emphasized that these achievements align with Dubai's ambitions outlined in the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. He attributed the centre's success to the strategic oversight of His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, positioning DIAC among the world's top arbitration centres in the coming years. With over 5,000 cases handled, totaling more than AED 100 billion in value, DIAC continues to offer a robust legal framework for arbitration, attracting complex, high-value disputes. Recent reforms, including updated arbitration rules and an expanded board, ensure DIAC remains at the forefront of dispute resolution globally. News Source: Emirates News Agency
