The UAE is committed to accelerating the pace of the National Action Plan to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, as this file constitutes a strategic priority for the country.
In my capacity as Chairman of the Higher Committee Overseeing the National Strategy on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism.
I would like to underscore the UAE’s commitment at the highest level to strengthen our national AML/CFT framework, including by working closely with FATF, our international partners, and the private sector on a sustainable and ongoing basis.
Financial crime is a concern for all major economies, and we in the UAE are approaching this matter with the utmost seriousness.
By continuing with our disciplined approach, we are making a genuine difference in our ability to prevent illicit financial flows and achieve our goal of making the UAE one of the strongest and most respected economies in the modern world.
