UAE Introduces New Anti-Money Laundering Strategy for 2024-2027

in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Compliance

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched a new national strategy aimed at strengthening its efforts against money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and the proliferation of weapons. The 2024-2027 plan, approved by the UAE Cabinet, outlines a comprehensive approach to enhance regulatory compliance and international coordination.

The strategy includes the formation of two key committees: the National Committee for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism, and the Supreme Committee overseeing the national strategy. These bodies are tasked with improving the efficiency of enforcement and compliance, streamlining processes, and ensuring clearer communication between businesses and regulatory authorities.

In addition to its focus on strengthening internal frameworks, the UAE is committed to aligning its efforts with international standards, particularly those set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). This alignment is expected to boost investor confidence and foster stronger global financial relations. The UAE aims to maintain transparency and accountability, ensuring that anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) measures are consistently applied across both financial and non-financial sectors.

As part of the strategy, the UAE has intensified its scrutiny of the gold sector, which has faced concerns over potential links to illicit financial activities. In a recent move, the UAE government suspended 32 gold refineries after an inspection revealed numerous violations of AML regulations. The refineries, which account for approximately 5% of the sector, are expected to remain closed for further investigation and regulatory action until at least October 2024.

These actions follow the UAE’s efforts to enhance its legal frameworks and controls in line with FATF recommendations. The country was removed from FATF’s gray list earlier this year after taking swift corrective measures. From December 2021 to June 2023, the UAE authorities confiscated over Dh5.4 billion ($1.4 billion) from cases related to trade-based money laundering and other financial crimes.

The latest legislative amendments, part of an ongoing effort that began with earlier reforms in 2018, reflect the UAE’s commitment to upholding high standards of financial integrity. These changes are expected to improve the country’s standing as a key global financial hub and attract more international investment.

In addition to regulatory changes, businesses in the UAE are being urged to adopt a strong compliance culture, ensuring that their operations align with international best practices. As the country continues to grow as a major economic player, the focus on compliance will be crucial to mitigating the risks of financial crime and maintaining the UAE’s reputation in the global market.
