Anti-Money Laundering Compliance:
One of the most important financial hubs in the UAE and the Middle East, Dubai hosts a range of international business interests in its special economic zone: the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Established in 2004, the DIFC is home to hundreds of banking and financial institutions and has, since its inception, grown to become one of the top ten financial centers in the world. That profile also makes Dubai an attractive target for financial criminals seeking to exploit the city-state’s concentration of wealth in order to launder money or finance terrorist activities.
The DIFC has its own regulatory regime in order to deal with the financial risks it poses, and it is essentially a different authority from the rest of the UAE. The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), which is in charge of preventing money laundering and other financial crimes in the special economic zone, oversees this regime. As a result, financial companies doing business in Dubai must be mindful of the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist funding threats they pose, as well as how to comply with DFSA regulations.
