Saxo Bank was the first Scandinavian bank to establish a presence in the
Gulf Corporation Council region, when it launched a regional office in the
Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) in May 2009.
The Abu Dhabi office will be headed up by Filippo De Rosa who will report to
Jakob Beck Thomsen, CEO of Saxo Bank (Dubai) Ltd and Group Regional Head
MENASA. De Rosa is joining the office, moving from a position as Assisting
Director with Moody's Analytics.
This new office in Abu Dhabi has been established to further strengthen the
bank's presence within the region.
In a joint statement, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen, co-founders
and co-CEOs of Saxo Bank, said:
"We are thrilled to be opening our second office in the UAE. We have seen
operations expanding within the region rapidly since the opening of our first
office in Dubai five years ago, and are delighted to be committing further to
the Middle East and North Africa by entering Abu Dhabi.
"The UAE has seen a spectacular recovery in 2013, echoing the general
recovery since the 2009 downturn. Abu Dhabi is beginning a new phase of
expansion and economic development. With impressive strategic investments in
areas such as arts and culture, tourism and finance, the Emirate is attracting
highly skilled professionals locally and from around the world. These people
are increasingly self-directed in the way they approach their investments. They
need modern technology and a comprehensive multi-asset product offering and
that is exactly what Saxo Bank offers."

include equity shares listed on over 30 global stock exchanges, 160 currency
pairs, 8,700 CFDs, 1,500 ETFs and ETCs, futures and more. These instruments are
all readily available through Saxo Trader, a desktop version of the platform,
