Consultation Paper No. 7 of 2025 – Proposed Administrative Regulations on Investigative Powers and Sanctions
The Abu Dhabi Global Market Registration Authority proposes new overarching administrative regulations to centralize and standardize enforcement procedures, investigative powers, and sanctions across its commercial legislation. The framework introduces a two-tiered procedural fairness system distinguishing between minor and serious contraventions, alongside an updated fine scale with penalties up to USD 54 million and enhanced emergency powers for the RA CEO. Additionally, the proposal establishes statutory authority for settlement agreements and allows regulated persons to waive procedural rights in exchange for expedited resolution.
