The UAE is a federation of seven emirates, each with its own legal and regulatory framework. This means that investors and immigrants need to be aware of the different rules and requirements that apply in each emirate, as well as the federal level. Some of the main GRC challenges include complying with anti-money laundering (AML), anti-corruption, data protection, and tax laws, as well as managing political and reputational risks. On the other hand, the UAE also offers many opportunities for GRC, such as its strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility, its strategic location and connectivity, and its attractive incentives and benefits for foreign investors and residents.
