The Dubai Financial Services Authority launched the 2025 cohort of its Masaar graduate programme, bringing in six United Arab Emirates Nationals for a two-year development track aimed at building careers in financial regulation within the Dubai International Financial Centre. Masaar combines structured learning, support towards professional qualifications, cross-functional exposure and practical work experience. The programme continues the DFSA’s graduate intake activity of more than 15 years and has been rebranded as Masaar, Arabic for “path”. The DFSA also positioned the programme as supporting the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) goals of doubling the emirate’s economy over the next decade and positioning Dubai among the world’s top four global financial hubs and a preferred capital market destination by 2033, by strengthening local regulatory expertise. The 2025 cohort started their first day at the DFSA on 22 September 2025 and will complete the programme over two years.
