Stern School of Business at NYU Abu Dhabi releases inaugural Financial Center Competitiveness Index

  • Results rank New York, London, and Singapore as the top three global financial centers
  • Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha all feature in the top 30, underscoring the GCC’s growing role in global finance
  • First major publication of the Institute for Global Financial Competitiveness in Abu Dhabi, supported by Ray Dalio

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Stern School of Business at NYU Abu Dhabi (Stern at NYUAD), one of the world’s leading business schools, today released the inaugural Financial Center Competitiveness Index (FCCI) at the Global Markets Summit during Abu Dhabi Finance Week. The index evaluates international financial centers worldwide and ranks New York, London, and Singapore as the top three. Highlighting the GCC’s growing influence in a landscape long shaped by established hubs, the Index places Abu Dhabi 12th and Dubai 14th overall, with Riyadh 26th and Doha 29th.

As the global economic landscape becomes more complex, traditional indices offer rankings without fully explaining what drives them. The FCCI addresses this gap. Using data science to blend data driven rankings with strategic analysis, it gives policymakers a clearer view of how financial centers compare and compete, helps emerging centers understand how to strategically plan for growth, and supports decision makers navigating increasingly complex global economic dynamics.

The Institute advances research into the evolving global economic order, with a focus on the role of international financial centers. By creating a systematic benchmark for financial centers, it provides policymakers, business leaders, and investors with an evidence-based framework to navigate shifting global dynamics.

“International financial centers are one of the clearest ways to observe how the global economy is shifting” said Rob Salomon, Dean of Stern at NYUAD. “With the FCCI and the Institute for Global Financial Competitiveness, we wanted to move beyond league tables and provide a research-based view of how cities are engaged in building financial capacity. The strong performance of cities located in the Gulf region shows how fast new hubs can move when policy, regulation, talent, and innovation are aligned.”

The FCCI uses a two-pillar framework that looks at today and tomorrow. The Footprint pillar tracks current scale and activity, including institutional strength, resources, and local ecosystems. The Dynamics pillar assesses growth potential and future readiness, with a focus on technology and innovation. Together, the pillars show where centers stand now and how prepared they are for what comes next.

The principal investigators of the Index are Bruno Lanvin, President of the Descartes Institute and Senior Advisor at the Institute for Global Financial Competitiveness, Stern at NYUAD, and Anisa Shyti, Clinical Associate Professor of Accounting at Stern at NYUAD.

“In an environment of shifting growth engines, new technologies, and rising geopolitical risk, financial centers need tools that help them think in years, not quarters,” said Lanvin. “The Index is meant to sit at the intersection of data and strategy. It helps cities understand how they fit into a more polycentric financial system. Our aim is to inform better choices, whether that means where to invest, where to locate, or how to build the trust that ultimately underpins competitiveness.”

The index also points to the rising importance of technology and infrastructure. As AI intensive and data driven activity expands, financial centers must invest in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, and sustainable energy to support new forms of financial intermediation.

“The FCCI is built to be used, not just read,” said Shyti. “By separating Footprint and Dynamics, and by making the data available through an interactive platform, we give policymakers, financial center managers, and investors the power to stress test their assumptions – a tool for decision and action. Uncertainty hits everyone, but never the same way. Stakeholders can shift the weight to regulation, or technology, or talent – and instantly see the rankings reshape to the future they expect. That flexibility is essential in a world where the questions keep changing.”

The FCCI is the first major publication of the Institute for Global Financial Competitiveness, which Stern at NYUAD announced last month. The Institute uses data science to research It is mentored by renowned investor Ray Dalio and brings together a world class team of researchers and advisors.

The performance of the GCC reflects a wider regional trend. Strengthening regulatory frameworks, targeted investments in innovation, and the expansion of financial activity across the region are contributing to the rise of several regional centers. These developments underscore the need for tools like the FCCI, which clarifies how financial centers evolve and compete over time.

Dimora Medical Recognized as Key Driver in Winner Medical’s Amazon Award

NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Winner Medical, the parent company of Dimora Medical, has been honored with the Paid Service Operation Excellence Award at the 2025 Amazon Global Selling Seller Conference, which focuses on excellence, innovation and global market. As one of Winner Medical’s most influential international sub-brands, Dimora Medical played a pivotal role in this achievement, driven by its industry-leading performance in Amazon’s wound-care category.

Paid Service Operation Excellence Award
Paid Service Operation Excellence Award

“Several years ago, as we watched the advanced wound care market surge in Europe and North America, it became clear that high-performance dressings had room to grow beyond hospital use,” said Yan Zhang, Marketing VP at Dimora Medical. “The market was worth billions, yet the Amazon category was still tiny. It was a clear blue-ocean opportunity to reimagine clinical products for everyday home-care needs.”

Early in its Amazon launch, despite the advantage of in-house product development and manufacturing, sales grew gradually. The turning point came with a fundamental insight: home users required solutions tailored to everyday care, not hospital routines.

This insight prompted a series of strategic products and brand adjustments. The company introduced micro-innovations for household use, adding multiple sizes for everyday wound care and developing contoured dressings for joint areas where standard formats fail to adhere. Packaging was also redesigned with smaller, more refined boxes suited to household routines.

Dimora Medical also defined four core home-care scenarios: pressure-injury prevention for bedridden seniors, post-surgical recovery at home, children’s minor wounds, and injuries related to outdoor activities. Visual storytelling through its flagship store and enhanced content pages helped consumers intuitively understand how to use the products and which situations they were designed for.

As reviews grew, the brand identified an unexpected yet influential user group: family physicians who turned to Amazon to source dressings for patient care. Their professional feedback informed listing improvements and strengthened brand credibility. Consistent quality and scenario-driven marketing helped Dimora Medical’s foam dressings emerge as a breakout success, driving rising institutional demand. Enterprise purchasing has maintained strong double-digit growth, contributing significantly to Dimora Medical’s cross-border expansion and reinforcing its leadership in Amazon’s rapidly growing wound-care category.

Dimora Medical looks forward to deepening collaborations with global partners, strengthening its role in shaping the future of accessible, high-quality wound care, and welcoming new distributors and stakeholders interested in joining its expanding global ecosystem.

Seven Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong unite to promote “Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women” campaign and to support the Po Leung Kuk’s mobile art exhibition “Violence? Love!!: A Voyage of Discovery”

HONG KONG, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The recent tragic fire at Tai Po has brought sadness and loss to our community. The seven Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong would like to express our deepest condolences to the victims and to extend our sympathy to all those affected. The swift response from all sectors of society reflects Hong Kong’s spirit of helping each other during tough times, while also reminding us of the needs of vulnerable groups.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), violence against women and girls remains the most widespread and pervasive human rights violation globally, affecting an estimated one in three women—a figure that has remained largely unchanged over the past decade. This violence knows no national or cultural barriers; it occurs at home, in the workplace, and in public spaces, impacting millions of women and girls in both peacetime and conflict. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified violence against women, with a 2022 study revealing that nearly 40% of women in Hong Kong have experienced sexual abuse. The WHO estimates the actual figures are likely higher.

Zonta International has long been unwavering in its advocacy to end violence against women. Since launching the “Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women” campaign in 2012, it has held its annual “16 Days of Activism” between November and December, uniting Zonta Clubs worldwide in impactful advocacy actions to combat violence against women and girls. As members of Zonta International, Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong have responded actively to this call.

Recently (8 December), seven Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong — Zonta Club of Hong Kong, Zonta Club of Kowloon, Zonta Club of Hong Kong East, Zonta Club of The New Territories, Zonta Club of Victoria Hong Kong, Zonta Club of Hong Kong II, and Zonta Club of The New Territories II— joined forces to support the Po Leung Kuk’s mobile  art exhibition “Violence? Love!!: A Voyage of Discovery”, which aims to educate the community about domestic violence and related family crisis support services.  This event is a key part of this year’s “16 Days of Activism” under the “Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women” campaign.

The launch of the mobile art exhibition was witnessed by Zonta International District 17 Governor Mrs Winnie Wong, Zonta International District 17 Area 2 Director Ms Thelma Tong, presidents of the seven Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong, and the Chairman of Po Leung Kuk Ms Amanda Ho, JP.

Zonta International District 17 Governor Mrs Winnie Wong said: “Today, Zonta International and the seven Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong are delighted to support the Po Leung Kuk’s ‘Violence? Love!!: A Voyage of Discovery’ mobile art exhibition, which aims to raise public awareness about domestic violence.  Zonta is committed to advancing the status of women through service and advocacy. The annual ‘Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women’ campaign and its ’16 Days of Activism’, which begins on the United Nation’s (UN) International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November and concludes on the UN’s International Human Rights Day on 10 December, are aligned with the UN’s call to mobilise all sectors of society in support of gender equality and women’s rights.”

Chairman of Po Leung Kuk Ms Amanda Ho, JP, explained that through the voices and stories of victims of domestic abuse, the exhibition highlights that domestic violence often lies hidden within everyday life. The courage and transformation of every survivor deserves to be heard and supported by everyone. Through the exhibition, which also highlights the Po Leung Kuk’s support services, the Po Leung Kuk not only walks alongside affected families but also aims to show how to build healthier and happier families.

The “Violence? Love!!: A Voyage of Discovery” mobile art exhibition vehicle will tour Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories from 8 to 14 December, including stops in Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Mong Kok, Wong Tai Sin, Tai Wai and Tsuen Wan. Entry is free of charge.

The exhibition features interactive experience zones, allowing visitors to understand the reality of domestic violence and the possibility of transforming “violence” into “love”.  This includes “The True Stories of Seven Weapons”, which through activities and personal stories inspires visitors to build positive family relationships.

/C O R R E C T I O N — Empyrion Digital/

In the news release, Empyrion Digital Unveils Johor’s Newest Large-scale Next-Generation Hyperscale Data Centre Campus, issued 08-Dec-2025 by Empyrion Digital over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the second paragraph, 1st sentence, should read “Malaysia’s recent tightening of approvals” rather than “Malaysia’s national data centre moratorium” as originally issued inadvertently; The second bullet point should read “One of Johor’s rare, approved DC sites”. The complete, corrected release follows:

Empyrion Digital Unveils Johor’s Newest Large-scale Next-Generation Hyperscale Data Centre Campus

  • 200+MW hyperscale campus with five 40MW buildings
  • One of Johor’s rare, approved DC sites
  • Earliest energisation from Sep 2026; first phase targeted RFS in Q4 2026

SINGAPORE, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Empyrion Digital, a Singapore-headquartered next-generation data centre developer and operator, today announced regulatory approval for both the Electricity Supply Agreement (ESA) and Data Centre Task Force (DCTF) application for its first data centre campus in Malaysia. Located in Nusajaya within the SiLC Industrial Cluster of Johor, the project represents Empyrion Digital’s largest investment to date and its sixth data centre development across Asia.

The Johor Data Centre Campus (“MY1”) will be developed on a rare 34.9-acre site, making it one of the few projects in the country to secure both site approval and power allocation despite Malaysia’s recent tightening of approvals. This strategic milestone underscores the importance of MY1 not only to Johor’s digital infrastructure roadmap but also to the region’s accelerating AI and cloud computing ecosystem.

Designed as a 200+MW next generation hyperscale campus, MY1 will comprise five 40MW buildings developed in phases to meet surging demand for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud infrastructure in Southeast Asia. The first phase is targeted to be Ready-for-Service (RFS) in Q4 2026.

Empyrion Digital has secured 145MW of initial power allocation from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), with earliest energisation targeted for September 2026, and scalability to support the full campus. TNB will supply a stable, high-capacity electricity feed for hyperscale workloads.

MY1 will incorporate state-of-the-art liquid and air-cooled technologies, targeting a PUE below 1.3 for liquid cooling and below 1.4 for air cooling. The campus will also have access to green energy through long-term PPAs, in line with Empyrion Digital’s commitment to efficient and responsible operations.

Strengthening Cross-Border Connectivity Between Johor and Singapore

Beyond hyperscale capacity, MY1 will play a critical regional role in enhancing cross-border digital connectivity between Johor and Singapore. Through Empyrion’s sister connectivity platform, SPTel under Seraya Partners’ AQX Digital Infrastructure, customers will gain future access to secure, diverse, and low-latency routes linking MY1 in Johor to Empyrion’s SG1 data centre in Singapore.

These routes will significantly improve network diversity, operational resilience, and digital sovereignty, enabling customers to deploy multi-site AI, hybrid cloud, and disaster recovery architectures across the two locations. MY1 will therefore serve not only as a key hyperscale hub but also as a strategic extension of Singapore’s digital ecosystem.

Ernest Lee, Acting CEO of SPTel, said:
“We see strong potential in collaborating with Empyrion to integrate resilient connectivity and edge cloud capabilities across Singapore and Johor. By combining SPTel’s secure, software-defined network with Empyrion’s data centre footprint, we aim to deliver faster, more flexible digital infrastructure solutions for customers in the region.”

Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital, said:
Malaysia has emerged as a key destination for hyperscale data centres, driven by strong digital transformation, favourable infrastructure, and government support. MY1 reflects Empyrion Digital’s continued ambition to expand our pan-Asian platform and meet our customers’ needs for scalable, green-by-design, and AI-ready infrastructure. Johor will be a cornerstone location in this strategy.”

Once completed, MY1 will join Empyrion Digital’s growing regional platform, which includes operational and development projects in Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Bangkok, bringing the company’s total IT capacity across Asia to well over 200MW.

About Empyrion Digital
Empyrion Digital is a next-generation digital infrastructure platform committed to sustainable practices and operational excellence. Green-by-design, we develop and operate scalable, carrier-neutral data centres for hyperscale and enterprise customers across Asia.

Headquartered in Singapore, Empyrion Digital is a portfolio company of Seraya Partners, a leading Asia infrastructure fund with USD 2.2 billion of assets under management as of 30 Sep 2025.

Hacken Releases MEXC’s Audit, Confirms Full Asset Backing and Strengthened Transparency Standards

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, the fastest-growing global cryptocurrency exchange, redefining a user-first approach to digital assets through true zero-fee trading, has published its latest independent Proof of Reserves (PoR) report conducted by blockchain security and audit firm Hacken. MEXC continues to safeguard core assets while providing a fully auditable view of user balances, reinforcing our unwavering commitment to 100% fully backed user fund safety. The report, completed on November 26, 2025, confirms that MEXC holds sufficient on-chain assets to fully cover all user liabilities, with coverage ratios for major assets — including BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC — consistently exceeding 100%.

According to the audit, Hacken conducted a comprehensive evaluation of MEXC’s reserves using industry-standard methodologies, including Proof of Liabilities, Proof of Ownership, reserve sufficiency calculations, and Merkle-tree verification. MEXC’s Proof of Reserves framework aggregates anonymized user balances and maps them to publicly verifiable on-chain holdings, enabling independent validation of solvency without compromising personal information. The auditor verified that MEXC maintains operational control over all wallets included in the assessment and confirmed that user balances are fully backed based on the assets reviewed.

The examination covered a broad range of networks, with reserve wallets identified across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TON, Tron, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche-C, Base, Polygon, Aptos and Sui. The report also provides detailed breakdowns of wallet addresses, balances, and asset distribution. The final reserve ratio table confirms that each major asset class is supported by reserves exceeding its liabilities.

Hacken reviewed outbound transactions from selected addresses as part of its Proof of Ownership procedures and validated the integrity of the Merkle-tree structure used to compute user liabilities. These transparency efforts are underpinned by MEXC’s continuously refreshed Proof of Reserves framework and an independently maintained protection system, giving users and counterparties verified confirmation of reserve coverage, strict asset segregation, and real-time fund accessibility.

“At MEXC, we are fully committed to transparency and security, and this report once again demonstrates our unwavering dedication to 100% user fund safety,” said Vugar Usi, COO of MEXC. “Independent Proof of Reserves audits are now a continuous, core standard practice within our operational framework. We will continue working with established auditing firms such as Hacken to ensure our users have verifiable assurance that their assets are fully backed.”

Hacken concludes that MEXC’s reserve structure demonstrates full solvency, including the accounting of off-exchange obligations. The report highlights the proper implementation of the PoR methodology, the quality of the supplied data, diversified asset holdings, and the exchange’s high level of responsibility toward its users.

“We’ve seen increased transparency demand in the crypto industry over the past year, and the results of MEXC’s audit reflect this shift”, noted a spokesperson for Hacken. “Our audit confirmed that the exchange has sufficient asset reserves and a clear reserve management structure. In an environment where trust is built only through verifiable data, MEXC demonstrates its willingness to operate transparently and back up its commitments with facts, not words”.

Hacken also emphasizes that the results serve as a “testament to the responsible financial management practices employed by MEXC, as well as the company’s dedication to transparency and accountability”.

Regular Proof of Reserves audits remain central to MEXC’s long-term strategy to strengthen trust and elevate industry standards. As global demand for accountability and compliance in cryptocurrency trading grows, verified reserve transparency has become essential to build user confidence and demonstrate real financial resilience. The release of the latest independent audit by Hacken powerfully reinforces MEXC’s standing as a global benchmark for trust, transparency, and resilience—setting a gold standard for accountability in the worldwide crypto ecosystem.

Dizal Showcases its Strong Hematology Pipeline with New Data from Golidocitinib and Birelentinib at ASH 2025

SHANGHAI, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dizal (SSE:688192), a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel medicines for cancer and immunological diseases, announced new data from its hematology portfolio at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Highlights include golidocitinib, a Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) only inhibitor, in T-cell lymphoma, and birelentinib, a non-covalent LYN/BTK dual inhibitor, in B-cell lymphoma.

Golidocitinib

  • Newly diagnosed PTCL

Two dose regimes of golidocitinib combined with CHOP have been explored for the treatment of newly diagnosed PTCL. Both demonstrated promising antitumor activities and a manageable safety profiles.

    • Golidocitinib 75mg daily with CHOP, followed by 150mg maintenance after CHOP, showed an ORR of 94.1% and a CR rate of 64.7%. By the data cutoff date, 85% of patients remained on treatment.
    • Golidocitinib 150mg daily with CHOP, followed by 150mg maintenance after CHOP, showed an ORR of 88.9% and a CR rate of 61.1%
       
  • R/R PTCL

An updated 2-year follow-up from the MD Anderson Cancer Center cohort of the multinational pivotal trial JACKPOT8 Part B showed that golidocitinib monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 53.8% and a complete response (CR) rate of 46.1%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 37.9 months and the 2-year PFS rate was 58.3%. The research findings validated golidocitinib’s long-lasting efficacy and tolerability in the U.S. patient population.

  • Rare subtypes of PTCL

Golidocitinib monotherapy demonstrated compelling clinical activity with a favorable safety profile in heavily pretreated relapsed or refractory T-cell and NK-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia (r/r T-LGLL) patients. Results from a prospective study showed an ORR of 92.3% and a CR rate of 61.15%. Additionally, the study reported a 100% response among STAT3-wildtype patients.

A Phase II clinical study showed that golidocitinib in combination with CHOP demonstrated profound antitumor activity in treatment-naïve monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL). The ORR was 85.7% and the CR rate was 71.4%, demonstrating a significant therapeutic advance over conventional chemotherapy.

  • PTCL-associated HLH

In r/r PTCL-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), golidocitinib-based regimens demonstrated dual anti-HLH and antitumor efficacy, with rapid clinical improvement and an ORR of 46.7%. Most patients achieved systemic and hematologic recovery with a manageable safety profile. These findings highlight the potential of JAK1 inhibition in this high-risk disease.

Birelentinib

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is a malignancy originating from mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). While Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors have transformed the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, resistance remains a significant challenge. Two primary types of resistance mutations have been identified after BTK inhibitor treatment for B-NHL: BTK-dependent and non-BTK pathway-mediated resistance. Although the BTK-dependent resistance is well-characterized, the emergence of kinase-impaired BTK mutations underscores the increasingly recognized role of non-BTK pathways.

Birelentinib is designed to block both BTK-dependent and BTK independent BCR signaling. Building upon promising data presented orally at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting and the 18th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML), updated follow-up data of birelentinib reported at this ASH Annual Meeting demonstrated potent anti-tumor efficacy with a manageable safety profile in heavily pre-treated CLL/SLL patients.

At 50 mg QD (RP3D), birelentinib achieved an ORR of 84.2%. Tumor responses were observed irrespective of prior BTK inhibitor, BCL-2 inhibitor or BTK degrader treatment, and in patients with kinase-proficient or kinase-impaired BTK mutation. Antitumor efficacy proved durable, with no new safety concerns identified during follow-up.

Based on the encouraging results, birelentinib has received Fast Track Designation (FTD) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The global multicenter Phase III study in r/r CLL/SLL is currently ongoing.

About Golidocitinib (DZD4205)

Golidocitinib is currently the first and only Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of r/r PTCL. In June 2024, golidocitinib was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL).

At the data cut-off date of August 31, 2023, golidocitinib has demonstrated robust and durable anti-tumor efficacy, with an ORR of 44.3%. All subtypes benefited well, and the ORR of common subtypes exceeded 40%. More than 50% of the patients with tumor remission achieved a complete response with a CRR of 23.9%. Per IRC assessment, the median duration of response (mDoR) reached 20.7 months. As of February 2024, golidocitinib showed a median overall survival (mOS) of 24.3 months.

Golidocitinib was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of r/r PTCL in February 2022. In September 2023, the CDE accepted its NDA and granted Priority Review for the treatment of r/r PTCL. The Phase I clinical data of golidocitinib (JACKPOT8 PART A) were published in Annals of Oncology (Impact Factor: 51.8), and global pivotal trial data of golidocitinib for the treatment of r/r PTCL (JACKPOT PART B) were published in The Lancet Oncology (Impact Factor: 54.4).

About Birelentinib (DZD8586)

Two resistance mechanisms have been found in patients whose diseases have progressed on a BTK inhibitor treatment: the BTK C481X mutation and BTK-independent BCR signaling pathway activation. Birelentinib is a first-in-class, non-covalent, LYN/BTK dual inhibitor with full blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, designed to treat both BTK-dependent and BTK-independent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL).

In August 2025, birelentinib was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who have received at least two prior lines of therapy, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL-2 inhibitor.
