UAE Approves New National Framework to Strengthen Anti-Money Laundering Measures
The United Arab Emirates has approved a new national framework aimed at enhancing investigations into money laundering and tightening oversight across financial sectors.
Under the updated measures, digital currencies have also been brought under regulatory scrutiny, reflecting growing concerns over their potential misuse in illicit financial activities. Authorities say this step is intended to align the country with evolving global standards in financial monitoring.
A new risk management system has been introduced for financial and business institutions to improve compliance and detection mechanisms. Additionally, a separate framework has been developed to strengthen oversight of non-profit organizations, ensuring transparency and accountability.
The decisions were finalized during a meeting of the UAE National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism, where officials also agreed to intensify crackdowns on illegal and unlicensed activities.
Authorities emphasized that the اقدامات کا مقصد مالیاتی نظام کو محفوظ بنانا اور غیر قانونی سرگرمیوں کی روک تھام کو مزید مؤثر بنانا ہے۔
