The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) found that 18,000 UAE-based

companies have adhered to the Emiratisation policies set out by the government, with the

total number of UAE nationals employed by these firms crossing 88,000 from mid-2022 to
date.

However, during this time, MoHRE also found that 916 companies violated Emiratisation
policies.

In a recent statement, the ministry said that companies which “fail to comply with annual
Emiratisation targets will be required to pay financial contributions starting from January

2024, in line with Emiratisation policies and decisions.”
