Dubai is one of the world's fastest growing business centres and the entry point for much of the Middle East's liquidity and trade activity. DGCX commenced trading in November 2005 as the region's first commodity derivatives exchange and is growing at 26 per cent year on year. DFM, which commenced operations in March 2000, provides a market for investors to buy and sell the stocks of publicly held companies in the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region.

Nishat Bandali, chief marketing officer at DGCX, says: "We are very pleased to offer our data to international market participants via Interactive Data's low latency PlusFeed. The Middle Eastern markets represent one of the world's largest areas of liquidity and this is leading to greater international demand for market data from the region."

David Hann, general manager, EMEA, Interactive Data Real-Time Services, adds: "We have a growing client base in the Middle East and continue to seek further growth in the region. We are also seeing an increasing number of requests for Middle Eastern data from our international clients and plan to add more content from local exchanges and sources. The content now offered via our low latency PlusFeed has become rich and in-depth - we are currently adding even more Level 2 data as well as a range of Asian and Eastern European sources."
