Supporting national efforts

investigation, and financial analysis ecosystems to develop effective, proactive mechanisms for detecting
suspicious activities and enhancing rapid responses to associated risks, in line with global best practices. This
plays a role in reinforcing the UAE’s position as a secure and transparent global economic hub.”

unifying resources and expertise to develop more precise and effective regulatory tools, while continuing to
invest in national talent and smart technologies to build a safer and more stable environment.

coordination between the Ministry and Dubai Police. This includes the exchange of data related to money
