UAE Hosts DNFBPs Summit To Strengthen Role

In Combatting Financial Crimes

Under the patronage of H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, and H.E. Ahmed Al

Sayegh, Minister of State, the two-day summit titled “The Role of the DNFBPs Sector in Fighting
Financial Crimes” has commenced in Dubai. The event, organized by the Ministry of Economy and
the Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation (EOCN), brings together key public and
private sector players to advance the national agenda against money laundering, terrorism financing,

and the proliferation of weapons.

The summit focuses on strengthening compliance with international standards, particularly those
issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and on raising awareness among Designated
Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs)—a category that includes real estate
brokers, precious metals dealers, and other high-risk sectors.
