What to Expect at the DNFBP Compliance & Risk Summit
The UAE’s Ministry of Economy has been at the forefront of driving compliance improvements, aligning the country with FATF recommendations to strengthen financial transparency and accountability. This summit is designed to equip DNFBPs with the necessary tools and strategies to navigate evolving compliance challenges.
As global financial regulations tighten and the UAE remains under intense scrutiny from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), businesses operating in Designated Non-Financial Business and Professions (DNFBP) sectors must act swiftly to enhance compliance and mitigate sanction risks.
The DNFBP Compliance & Risk Summit 2025, the only event in the UAE dedicated exclusively to DNFBPs, will bring together regulators, compliance experts, and industry leaders to address AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and CTF (Counter-Terrorism Financing) challenges.
Why DNFBP Compliance is More Critical Than Ever
With increased regulatory scrutiny, DNFBPs including real estate firms, gold and precious metals dealers, law firms, and accountants face a growing obligation to align with UAE’s AML/CTF laws. Failure to do so can lead to:
- Heavy Fines & Sanctions – Regulatory penalties for non-compliance.
- Reputational Damage – Loss of credibility and global trust.
- Business Restrictions – Increased barriers in international transactions.
- Blacklist Risks – Potential restrictions from financial institutions.
Staying ahead of regulatory expectations isn’t just a requirement it’s a strategic necessity to avoid sanctions and secure long-term business sustainability.
