Hello everyone,

I am writing this from my hotel room prior to the first FX expo of the year in Dubai, having spent the past week here visiting the new Breinrock office in the DIFC. Over the past couple of years, the FX eco system has become huge with the big players visibly making their name visible, via such things as the renaming of metro stations in their brands name.

This to me follows a theme for anyone who visits Dubai, where the Emirate just goes big on everything making sponsorship of a football team a thing of the past. When you see this, perhaps this will be the new global hub for online retail FX trading.

It is fantastic to have on the front cover of this issue, Dmitriy Petrenko the CEO of FX Back Office. Dmitriy and FXBO have been a long time supporter of GC, so it is great to not only have him on the front cover, but also learn some more about perhaps one of the best CRM’s out there.

Having worked with Dmitriy in my first retail FX job far too many years ago, it really is great to see him make such a great success of the FX Back Office brand.

As ever, thanks to everyone who contributed to another great fun issue to put together. If you have any suggestions for having your brand in an upcoming edition and in Dubai, feel free to message me via Linkedin.

Thanks
