Project Description
The UAE Government has taken positive steps to improve the legal framework for Secured Transactions reform through the enactment of a new Secured Transactions Law ("Pledge Law") and the adoption of subordinate legislation needed for its implementation in addition to the establishment of an electronic collateral registry hosted at the Emirates Development Bank (EDB). Accordingly, this project will build on these achievements to further improve the enabling environment for SMEs in UAE through:
1. Holding awareness raising and capacity building activities for various stakeholders in both public and private sectors such as government agencies, judges, financial institutions and others.
2. Conducting an assessment of the current legal framework in the UAE.
3. Conducting an assessment and providing recommendations on prudential regulatory framework in the context of movable asset-based finance in the UAE.
