Supplemental Guidance for Dealers in Precious Metals & Stones (DPMS) — 2026 Edition

MOET replaced its 2021 sector guidance for precious-metals/stones dealers with an updated version reflecting current ML/TF/PF risk factors (cash intensity, portability, cross-border trade), the AED 55,000 DPMS reporting threshold, five-year record retention, and sanctions-screening obligations. Exact publication day within March 2026 is an estimate based on the document's stated version date.
