UAE 'exceeds obligations' in tackling financial crime, says ambassador to EU
The European Union's removal of the Emirates from a list of countries that pose a high risk for money laundering should take place sooner rather than later, the UAE's ambassador to the bloc said. The National reported last month how the EU planned to remove the UAE from its list, after a drive in the Emirates to boost regulatory framework. The UAE was removed from a similar list last year by the Financial Action Task Force, the global body that combats money laundering and terrorism financing. "As one of the world's fastest-growing economies, built on a resilient financial system, modern regulatory structures and an unambiguous commitment to sustainable growth, the UAE has demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that it has fully satisfied – and in many areas surpassed – the EU requirements for delisting," said Mohamed Alsahlawi, UAE ambassador to the EU, Belgium and Luxembourg, in a statement released on Wednesday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "A swift and decisive resolution to this matter is necessary to reflect both the facts on the ground and the strategic interests we share with our European partners. Only by resolving this issue can we unlock the true potential of the UAE-EU partnership, driving deeper co-operation, greater prosperity and shared security. "Our robust regulatory frameworks, effective enforcement mechanisms, and proven track record in detection, prevention, and prosecution of financial crime are documented, verifiable and delivering real-world impact." The UAE has made clear progress in combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism in recent years, issuing strict laws and introducing regulations to clamp down on such crime. Last September, the UAE set out a nationwide action plan aimed at combating terrorism financing and money laundering. The 2024-2027 National Strategy for Anti-Money Laundering, Countering the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation Financing features 11 goals focused on risk-based compliance, effectiveness and sustainability. "The UAE has not only met its global obligations, we have exceeded them," said Mr Alsahlawi. "Our co-operation with EU institutions and member states is deeper, more operational, and delivering tangible results. "Since 2022 alone, we have supported the EU with 167 extraditions, including 74 extradition decisions already issued, 30 of which [were] directly to France."

The rise of private wealth hubs: Is Dubai really the ‘Geneva of the Gulf'?
In the constantly evolving global wealth landscape, Dubai is emerging as one of the most strategically positioned private wealth hubs, bridging the East and the West. Comparisons to Geneva or Singapore are often made, but the UAE's model is distinct and unique. It is policy led, future focused, and increasingly family office friendly. Wealth is migrating, and not just geographically. High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), and family offices are looking for more than just tax efficiency or luxury. They want stability and security, proximity to emerging markets, strong legal and regulatory frameworks, access to top-tier talent and services, and residency and lifestyle incentives for intergenerational wealth. Dubai absolutely ticks all of these boxes and more, and increasingly, it is doing so with world-class policies and infrastructure. The UAE's ambition to become a private wealth capital is no longer just an aspiration, it is a reality that is accelerating at a fast pace. Key drivers include progressive regulation, with Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) offering internationally aligned legal structures and new family office frameworks. DIFC's Global Family Business and Private Wealth Centre, launched in 2022, was the first of its kind worldwide, offering licensing, concierge services, and transition planning. Long-term residency and lifestyle incentives are among the UAE's most compelling advantages. The Golden Visa, Green Visa, and retirement residency schemes provide families with enduring stability and effortless international mobility. Coupled with a tax-free lifestyle, the UAE offers an exceptionally high standard of living that caters to every demographic, rooted in exceptional levels of convenience, safety, wellness, and community. When combined with world-class education and healthcare, these attributes firmly position the UAE as one of the most desirable and secure places in the world to live, work, invest and raise a family. Dubai's geostrategic location is also crucial. Within an eight-hour flight of 80 per cent of the global population, it is a central hub between Europe, Asia, and Africa. The city is now a top choice for family offices relocating from across the World. We are also witnessing a redefinition of family offices, from traditional wealth preservation to direct investment in startups and infrastructure, philanthropy and ESG alignment, succession planning and next-gen entrepreneurship, and co-investment platforms and private syndicates. Dubai is positioning itself not just as a storage vault, but as a catalyst for family-driven innovation and capital deployment. What truly makes a wealth hub sustainable is not just policy, it is reputation, regulation and expertise. Dubai is attracting top private bankers, wealth advisers, legal experts, and investment consultants from around the world. But beyond technical competence, there's an emerging ecosystem built on discretion and confidentiality, multi-generational advisory, Sharia-compliant structuring options, and cultural fluency combined with international connectivity. Dubai is reimagining what a private wealth capital can be. Flexible, global, future-facing and deeply rooted in regional growth. As families around the world seek purpose and structure in how they manage their legacies, the UAE offers them a home and a strategic platform for generations to come. This transformation is part of a broader strategy by the UAE to align its financial ecosystem with global best practices whilst maintaining the agility and openness that attracts mobile capital. Whereas Geneva and Singapore established their reputations as global wealth centers over the course of several decades, Dubai is attaining a comparable stature within just a generation! The conversation has therefore shifted from questioning whether Dubai can emerge as a private wealth hub, to examining how it will define the next chapter in global private capital stewardship.
