In its efforts to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) comply with complex and dynamic restrictive measures imposed by the European Union, the European Commission has launched the EU Sanctions Helpdesk platform (the Helpdesk), providing compliance advice, sanctions updates and practical tools primarily for SMEs involved in international trade. The content covered in the Helpdesk platform includes (amongst other things):

  • publications to help users understand the EU sanctions landscape, including guides, good practices, news updates and podcasts;
  • a comprehensive list of resources to enable businesses to carry out sanctions due diligence; and
  • events including training, conferences and seminars.

More information on how to access the Helpdesk platform can be found on the European Union’s website here.

UAE ushers in new era of financial regulation with Central Bank Law overhaul

The United Arab Emirates has enacted a sweeping reform of its financial regulatory landscape with the introduction of Federal Decree-Law No. (6) of 2025 (the New CBUAE Law), a comprehensive new legal framework governing the Central Bank and its regulation of financial institutions and activities, including insurance activities. The New CBUAE Law, which repeals Federal Law No. (14) of 2018 (the Previous CBUAE Law) and Federal Decree-Law No (48) of 2023 (the Previous Insurance Law), signifies a pivotal moment in the nation's ongoing efforts to fortify its financial system, enhance consumer protection and align with international best practices.
