The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates decided to impose a fine on a branch of a licensed foreign bank in the country, amounting to 1.82 million dirhams, in accordance with Federal Decree Law No. (6) of 2025 regarding the Central Bank and the regulation of financial establishments and activities and insurance businesses.

The financial fine was imposed based on the results of inspections conducted by the Central Bank, which showed the branch’s failure to issue a debt certificate within the specified period of seven days, in violation of the regulations and standards related to market behavior and consumer protection issued by the Central Bank.
