Fitch affirms Ras Al Khaimah's 'A+' rating, raises 2026 growth forecast

RAS AL KHAIMAH, 4th October, 2026 (WAM) -- International credit ratings agency Fitch has affirmed Ras Al Khaimah's Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'A+', reflecting an easing of direct risks associated with geopolitical challenges since April 2026, whose impact was limited to a modest delay and a marginal increase in the cost of launching a potentially transformational investment project in the Emirate.The international credit ratings agency explained that the 'A+' rating, despite the impact of uncertain regional conditions, is supported by low public-sector debt, substantial fiscal buffers, high GDP per capita and the benefits of UAE federation membership.Fitch revised the Emirate's 2026 GDP forecast upward, projecting growth of 1.5 percent, compared with its previous report, which had predicted a contraction of 1.8 percent.The revision was based on data from the first half of 2026, which indicated greater resilience, supported by solid domestic demand and stronger intra-Gulf activity.Fitch also forecast GDP growth to rebound to 5 percent in 2027, while consolidated public-sector debt is expected to remain broadly stable at about 11 percent of GDP over the 2026-2028 period.A spokesperson for Ras Al Khaimah Government said the Emirate's continued trajectory of growth, despite regional and global challenges, reflects the resilience and strength of the economy, noting that this achievement is no coincidence.The spokesperson added that the Emirate has consistently demonstrated remarkable resilience, turning challenges into opportunities for continued growth, reinforcing confidence in its economy, as evidenced by Fitch's reaffirmation of its 'A+' rating, removal from 'Rating Watch Negative' and upward revision of its growth forecast for 2026.Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost of the UAE's seven Emirates, is home to a thriving and diversified economy, with growth recorded and projected across various sectors. The Emirate's GDP composition is split across a variety of sectors, boosting its ability to attract and retain talent and businesses, from SMEs to large international companies.

DFSA fines Vault Wealth Limited $109,200 for carrying on unauthorised financial services in Dubai

DFSA fines Vault Wealth Limited $109,200 for carrying on unauthorised financial services in Dubai

DUBAI, 1st October, 2026 (WAM) -- The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the independent banking, financial services, and markets regulator of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), has imposed a fine of USD 109,200 (AED 401,000) on Vault Wealth Limited (VWL) for carrying on financial services in or from DIFC without being authorised by the DFSA.VWL agreed to settle the matter. The DFSA therefore reduced the fine by 30% from USD 156,000 (AED 573,000) to USD 109,200 (AED 401,000).VWL is incorporated in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and is licensed by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and provides financial services, including advising on investments or credit and arranging deals in investments. However, VWL has never been authorised by the DFSA to provide financial services in or from DIFC.The DFSA found that VWL breached the Financial Services Prohibition in Article 41(1) of the Regulatory Law 2004 by providing the following financial services in or from DIFC without the required DFSA authorisation, including:Advising on Financial Products; and Arranging Deals in Investments.In particular, between February and May 2024, VWL employees worked from the offices of a related DIFC entity, Vault Technology Limited, which was not regulated by the DFSA. During this period, prospective clients were invited to the DIFC office, where VWL provided financial advice and assisted clients with onboarding onto an investment platform. Prospective clients also provided know-your-customer documentation for the purpose of arranging the creation of investment accounts.The DFSA also found that the DIFC office did not indicate that the DIFC entity was separate from VWL. This could have led prospective clients, meeting VWL personnel in DIFC, to believe that VWL was authorised by the DFSA to provide financial services in or from DIFC.VWL's senior management were aware of the requirement to obtain DFSA authorisation. However, despite that awareness, VWL did not proceed with obtaining authorisation and continued providing financial services in or from DIFC. Senior management also failed to act on concerns raised by VWL's then Compliance Officer regarding the absence of the required licence. The DFSA treated these matters as aggravating factors when determining the fine.Alan Linning, Managing Director, Enforcement, of the DFSA, commented: "The prohibition against providing financial services in or from DIFC without the required DFSA authorisation is fundamental to the integrity of the DIFC's regulatory framework and to the protection of those who use, or may use, financial services within the Centre. Authorisation by another regulator does not permit a firm to conduct financial services in or from DIFC. Firms must ensure that they have the appropriate DFSA authorisation before undertaking regulated activity here.The action taken by the DFSA demonstrates that we will intervene where firms operate outside the regulatory perimeter and will impose sanctions that reflect the seriousness of such conduct and deter others from doing the same."The DFSA remains committed to developing, administering, and enforcing world-class regulation of financial services within DIFC. The DFSA will continue to take appropriate enforcement action to protect users and prospective users of financial services and to preserve confidence in DIFC's regulatory framework.
