UAE Shariah Governing Unit to oversee Islamic banking

uae central bank|By TAP Staff|The UAE central bank is considering the establishment of a Shariah Governing Unit to oversee Islamic finance on the recommendations of the Islamic Banking Committee.

The progress on this front was reviewed by the UAE Banks Federation at the CEO Advisory Council meeting, which focused on a number of critical issues facing the banking sector in the UAE.

During the meeting, Federation’s specialised committees reported on their work to the Council. The Legal committee highlighted its contribution on setting regulations to appoint banking experts, and engagement on the Direct Debit System, as well as their proposal on “Derivatives Netting”, among other issues.
