What's specific to DIFC

DIFC is a common-law financial free zone with its own civil and commercial laws, its own courts, and its own financial-services regulator (DFSA). Functional currency is typically USD. DIFC entities span DFSA-regulated firms, family offices, holding companies and single-family-office structures. Reporting requires English-language audited financial statements under IFRS, with sector-specific standards (IFRS 17 for insurers, IFRS 9 for lenders) applied strictly.
