This timely discussion will explore the resilience and continued growth of ADGM and Abu Dhabi’s financial sector. FSRA officials will share insights into how ADGM and the regulator have responded to recent challenges, while providing an update on key regulatory developments and forthcoming initiatives to support both international and domestic firms operating within the jurisdiction.

Topics for discussion will include:

• the impact of the 2026 regional conflict on financial services firms, capital flows and market stability, and ADGM’s response in supporting firms operating in or through the UAE; and
• the FSRA’s current and future regulatory and supervisory priorities, including asset management, digital assets, private credit, capital markets, operational resilience, cyber risk and market stability.

The session, held under the Chatham House Rule, will provide members with an opportunity for a candid and interactive exchange of views with the FSRA’s senior team.
