Omar Haddad

Omar follows the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Tax Authority, the Central Bank, the DFSA, the FSRA, VARA and the free-zone authorities. He reads the decision, not the press release, and his Rulebook items quote article numbers so that readers can check them. Field Notes is his record of what regulators and banks are doing in practice, including consultations that are still open.

Covers: The Rulebook (UAE, DIFC, ADGM and the wider Gulf) and Field Notes
