Countering Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Proliferation Financing: Guidelines for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (Revised Guidelines V2)
MOET (the Ministry's current official name is 'Ministry of Economy and Tourism', confirmed via moet.gov.ae) issued a revised (V2) edition of its core AML/CFT/CPF guidelines for the four DNFBP sectors it supervises (real estate agents/brokers, dealers in precious metals & stones, independent accountants/auditors, and trust & corporate service providers), incorporating findings from the UAE's 2024 National Risk Assessment. Regulated DNFBPs should update compliance manuals, risk assessments and CDD procedures. The document is dated only 'September 2025'; the exact day of publication could not be confirmed and is estimated here.
