Overview
Dubai is a global hub for banking and finance, supported by a robust mix of UAE Central Bank regulations, federal laws, and free zone regimes, such as the DIFC (regulated by the DFSA) and ADGM (regulated by the FSRA).
The UAE offers a sophisticated environment for corporate finance, Islamic finance, project finance, and cross-border banking transactions.
From syndicated loans and sukuk issuances to fintech innovations and corporate restructuring, financial institutions and corporates must navigate prudential requirements, AML/CFT laws, corporate tax, and ESR obligations.
