UAE strengthened its capital markets on Jan. 1, 2026, boosting CMA’s power and global alignment.
The UAE enacted two federal decree laws on January 1, 2026, to modernize its capital markets, strengthening the Capital Market Authority’s (CMA) independence and expanding its regulatory powers.
The reforms aim to enhance market stability, efficiency, and global competitiveness by aligning national regulations with international standards set by bodies like IOSCO, the IMF, and FATF.
The CMA now oversees licensed financial activities, enforces governance and fair practices, monitors systemic risks, and serves as the resolution authority during crises, with powers to intervene early in failing firms through restructuring or liquidation.
The laws promote consumer protection, financial inclusion, and responsible lending, require digital innovation in service delivery, and allow for pre-judgment reconciliation and public disclosure of penalties.
Fines can reach up to ten times the profit gained or loss avoided, reinforcing accountability and transparency.
