Stock exchanges in the Middle East’s commercial capital will soon operate Monday through Friday after the United Arab Emirates decided to align its work week with the global norm, in a push to drum up international investment and business.The financial sector will be the primary beneficiary of the UAE’s move to shift away from the Middle Eastern work week of Sunday through Thursday, Abdulrahman Al Awar, director general of the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Wednesday.“The banking and financials sector will benefit from this because we are eliminating the weekend gap that previously existed,” Al Awar said. “We are now aligned with the world’s economies.”
