Hits on Dubai 2003 website crosses one million in 17 days

The website features sections for information on the two main bodies, the World Bank Group and the IMF. It also gives the run down on the Annual Meetings this year, how the arrangements are being finalised and allotted, descriptions of Dubai and UAE, as well as a dedicated Resource Centre for the members of the media, who can use the website to download the latest press releases in both English and Arabic. There is also a comprehensive list of Media events that will run parallel to the Annual Meetings

The website is maintained in-house by Dubai 2003, thereby avoiding any delays in transmission of information. This ensures that the website is constantly up-to-date, and even delegates already in the country to attend the meetings would find information and links that are useful.

The Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund were first held in Washington DC in 1946. They are hosted by an international city one year in three. The UAE and Dubai were selected because of their highly developed transportation and logistics infrastructure, growing importance as a financial hub and its established position as an oasis of opportunity.
