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."

Oman revises rules for bank transfers, makes IBAN mandatory
The Central Bank of Oman had earlier announced that the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) will be mandatory for all domestic financial transactions From July 1, 2025, Oman has implemented a new requirement for all financial transfers. The Central Bank of Oman had earlier announced that the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) will be mandatory for all domestic financial transactions. It also added that international transactions will accepted without an IBAN now. The IBAN was made mandatory for international transfers on March 31, 2024. According to the Central Bank of Oman, this initiative has significantly improved transaction accuracy, reduced errors, and accelerated processing times for both local and international bank transfers. On the Emirates NBD app in the UAE, users have seen an awareness message that asks them to delete and re-add beneficiaries in Oman with their IBAN. The advisory says, "In line with new regulatory mandates, IBAN is now a mandatory requirement for all payments to Sultanate of Oman, starting from July,1 2025." It added: "Please delete and re-add your beneficiaries in Oman using their IBAN to avoid payment failures. Kindly note a cooling period of 4 hours will apply for newly added beneficiaries." What is IBAN? The IBAN or International Bank Account Number is a standardised way to identify any bank account anywhere in the world, designed to make sending money across borders much less of a headache. It's like a universal postal code for a bank account that includes the country (like "AE" for the UAE), some security digits, and regular account details all rolled into one. Earlier, before the system was created, delays and mix-ups were common as banks couldn't properly identify where payments should go. Now, with IBAN covering most of Europe, the Middle East, and parts of the Caribbean, money gets where it needs to go faster and with fewer costly errors. This number doesn't replace the regular account number – it's just an extra layer that helps banks around the world speak the same language when handling international payments.
