Partner Victoria Mesquita, counsel Ganna Vlasenko and associate Aran Au have written the chapter "Trends and Developments: UAE" for the Chambers and Partners Securitisation Global Practice Guide 2025.
The article explores the growing need for securitisation in the UAE, highlighting its potential to enhance capital allocation, risk management, and liquidity in the region’s financial markets. It explains the role of securitisation in mature markets and outlines the benefits it could bring to the UAE, particularly for SMEs seeking alternative financing options. Despite some early examples of securitisation in the UAE, the market remains underdeveloped, with legal and regulatory challenges slowing its growth. The article also covers recent developments, such as the introduction of the Securitisation Law in 2023, which provides a more favorable environment for securitisation transactions. Additionally, it touches on the complexities surrounding tax, regulatory requirements, and the integration of Sharia-compliant structures in securitisation deals.
