Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) announced on Monday that it released the Arabic-language edition of the GFMS Gold Survey 2009, the single most comprehensive, independent and authoritative knowledge tool on the global gold industry. The current edition is the 7th edition of the Gold Survey, which is produced by London-based GFMS Limited and provides a wealth of statistics on the main gold trading, producing and consuming countries, in addition to in-depth analyses of market trends and developments. DMCC's initiative aims to make the GFMS Gold Survey available as widely as possible across the Arab Gulf and the greater Middle East, which represent some of the key gold-consuming regions of the world. Ahmed Bin Sulayem, executive chairman of DMCC, said: “Over the decades, gold trade has occupied an important historical position in the Gulf region, where Dubai spearheaded and reinforced the growth. Dubai remains the main gateway to a vast region, including the GCC, Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and East Asia. It is only natural that DMCC took the initiative to publish the Arabic version of the GFMS Gold Survey 2009. We are confident that the report will provide added value to traders and specialists in this field across the Arab world.” Harendra Kailath, director, Gold, DMCC, said: “We believe that information contained in GFMS Gold Survey 2009 is invaluable for all stakeholders and decision makers in the gold trade. It is a vital tool to understand market trends and stay up to date with analyses in light of fluctuating economic conditions, and to implement business strategies accordingly. DMCC has adopted the task of making this report readily available to all.
