According to a senior official, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) continues to support the growth of the Islamic finance sector within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), while also observing rising interest in Shariah-compliant fintech solutions, which reinforces the UAE’s emergence as a global financial hub.
According to Charlotte Robins, Managing Director of Policy and Legal at the DFSA, regulatory clarity, solid governance standards, and rigorous disclosure frameworks are still crucial to boosting investor trust and promoting market expansion.
We recently released Consultation Paper 172 (CP 172), which proposes enhancements to the DFSA’s Islamic Finance Rules Module. These initiatives strengthen DIFC’s position as one of the world’s premier sukuk issuance centres, with over $100 billion in outstanding sukuk listings,” Robins told BTR in an interview.
Robins began working at the DFSA in May 2024 as Managing Director of Policy and Legal. She oversees the ongoing development of the DFSA’s policy framework, manages legal risks, provides comprehensive legal advice and support across all DFSA operations, and crafts the administrative laws and rules that comprise the DFSA’s regulatory framework.
