Ministry of Economy — AML/CFT & Commercial Supervision
Ministry of Economy and Tourism Reviews New Amendments to the Commercial Companies Law and Their Pivotal Role in Enhancing Competitiveness of the UAE's Business Environment
Minister Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri led a media briefing detailing the 15 articles amended by Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2025 (MOE-2025-003), including multi-class shares, cross-emirate/free-zone company transfer without liquidation, and the reduced one-year lock-up for private JSC shares. An informational briefing rather than a new legal instrument, but signals MOET's implementation priorities for the 2025 CCL reform.
