The ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority has published its 2025-2026 Business Plan, setting out its supervisory and policy agenda for the next two years and the areas where it intends to enhance its regulatory framework. The plan prioritises international regulatory alignment, combatting financial crime, strengthening operational resilience, fostering responsible financial innovation and advancing sustainable finance. International alignment work includes closer engagement with global standard-setting bodies. Financial crime efforts centre on strengthened supervisory, enforcement and technological capabilities to address money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, the financing of unlawful organisations and sanctions breaches, while operational resilience measures target cyber threats, supply chain disruptions, fraud and geopolitical risks. The plan also points to expanded SupTech and RegTech capabilities, support for green, climate transition and sustainability-linked products, and regulatory updates to incorporate climate-related risk management in line with the UAE’s net-zero ambitions and global sustainability standards.
