The UAE has welcomed its removal from the European Union’s list of high-risk third countries for money laundering and terrorist financing.

In a statement, Minister of State, Ahmed bin Ali Al Sayegh called the move a clear and independent recognition of the UAE’s strong commitment to combating financial crime and upholding international standards.

He said the UAE remains a trusted global financial hub and a reliable partner to the EU, with anti-money laundering and counter-terror financing systems that are not only robust, but future-ready.

The minister also emphasised that the UAE looks forward to strengthening its partnership with the European Union—highlighting shared goals of economic growth, security and closer cooperation.
