UAE: Investor Rule Change
Gulf News (United Arab Emirates), 2 April 2024: The UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority has approved a rule change which will mean UAE-based individual investors cannot directly subscribe to foreign funds through their bank accounts in the country.
The rule change came into force on 1 April 2024. It is believed the rule change only applies to subscriptions made after 1 April.
According to industry sources, all existing investment commitments can continue.
