The initiative is part of continuing efforts to strengthen institutional integration and partnerships to
improve monitoring and compliance systems and facilitate the exchange of data among
signatories, in support of their shared objectives to counter financial crimes in the UAE.
The MoUs establish clearly defined frameworks for technical cooperation, capacity building, and
knowledge exchange, as well as secure data sharing mechanisms that ensure confidentiality and
compliance with relevant legal and regulatory frameworks.
