6/26/25, 9:00 AM Company News in Egypt: UAE showcases its experience in developing legislative framework for competition protection at 6th Arab …
rules. This is achieved by specifying the thresholds and controls related to dominant
positions and the obligatory notification of economic concentration operations
implemented under the Competition Regulation Law. These measures are designed
to strengthen fair competition, ensure market stability, deter monopolistic practices,
and promote market access for new entrants - an essential step given that the UAE is
home to over 1.1 million companies and economic institutions.

The Cabinet's decision establishes clear notification thresholds based on two key
financial criteria: when the combined annual local sales of the parties in the relevant
market exceed AED 300 million in the preceding fiscal year, or when their aggregate
market share surpasses 40 per cent of total transactions in that market. To ensure
thorough evaluation, the review period for such transactions has been extended to 90
days, allowing for comprehensive technical and economic analysis.

th
The UAE will host the 7 Arab Competition Forum in 2026, which is one of the
most important regional platforms dedicated to enhancing Arab and international
cooperation in the field of competition protection and anti-monopoly efforts. This
forum supports the objectives of the ‘The UAE Charter of Economic Principles,’
which aims to build a competitive national economy that provides a thriving
business environment filled with opportunities and possibilities.
