Dubai International Financial Centre issued a community operational update following its 1 March advisory, asking firms and residents to maintain business continuity arrangements and monitor official guidance during a period of regional uncertainty. The notice confirms DIFC Authority services remain fully available, with staff returning to office-based working from 4 March 2026, and requests regulated clients whose operations have been affected to continue providing updates via the DFSA portal. Commercial and corporate entities were told to follow internal protocols and business continuity plans, while expatriates should also consider guidance from their home country authorities, including travel advisories. In-person appointments, including at the DIFC-based medical centre and the Emirates ID Biometrics Centre, will proceed as scheduled, and retail outlets including food and beverage venues will operate normal opening hours. DIFC indicated it will provide a further update on 8 March 2026 unless a material change requires earlier communication.
