Forex Brokers in United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates is a popular jurisdiction for forex brokers, with many forex brokers having a registered office in the Middle Eastern nation. UAE also has several financial free zones where different rules apply. Sometimes, forex brokers in the UAE operate with only a representative license from the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), while others are registered with the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) or overseen by some local regulatory agencies only.
The UAE has quickly grown to become a regional country for trading in all financial markets, with forex trading being no exception. It is partly because of the UAE’s favorable tax policies.
