The major initiatives that the central bank will focus on include upgrading the legislative and regulatory system for banks and financial institutions and improving financial institutions' licensing procedures and processes.
The bank will also focus on supporting and encouraging the banking sector to finance small and medium enterprises, in addition to reinforcing the legislative, regulatory and supervisory environment for Islamic finance.
Emiratisation of the banking sector is also a priority, in addition to enhancing anti-money laundering plans in line with international criteria and the UAE's competitiveness in these areas. The bank said the issue of reinforcing the consumer protection system is also of special significance.
