Last month, the regulator announced the removal of the board of directors of an insurance company and replaced it with a temporary committee of experts for six months for not adhering to local laws.
In the same month, it imposed administrative sanctions on eight banks operating in the UAE. The banks had failed to comply with the CBUAE’s instructions not to grant any credit facilities to the beneficiaries of loans granted by the Nationals Defaulted Debts Settlement Fund (NDDSF).
In December, the Central Bank cancelled the registration of BH Insurance Brokerage under the applicable insurance brokers’ regulations.
In June 2022, it imposed an administrative sanction on two insurance companies for failure to meet its regulatory obligations. One of the firms was prohibited from issuing additional insurance policies to new customers for one year.
