Ministry of Economy Grants Second Music Rights Licence to Music Nation

The UAE Ministry of Economy has officially granted its second collective music management licence to Music Nation, reinforcing the country's commitment to protecting intellectual property and advancing its creative industries. The announcement was made during a ceremony at the Ministry's headquarters in Dubai, attended by senior officials including Under-Secretary Abdullah Ahmed Al Saleh and Assistant Under-Secretary for Intellectual Property Dr. Abdulrahman Hassan Al Muaini. This licence authorises Music Nation to oversee the management and distribution of rights for music creators and performers across the country. It follows the first such licence awarded to the Emirates Music Rights Association in April 2025, under the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 38 of 2021 on copyright and related rights. Al Saleh described the move as a strategic milestone that aligns with the National Strategy for Cultural and Creative Industries 2031, aimed at fostering a globally competitive creative economy. He emphasised the importance of public-private partnerships in supporting talent, innovation, and sustainable growth within the sector. Dr. Al Muaini highlighted the music industry's rapid expansion, citing Dubai's 350 live music venues and a national streaming market projected to grow from US$841.9 million in 2024 to US$2.3 billion by 2030. He stressed the Ministry's commitment to establishing strong legal frameworks and promoting best practices to ensure fair compensation for creators. Music Nation Chairwoman Rasha Khalifa Al Mubarak said the organisation is poised to become a leading force in music licensing, protecting rights holders and showcasing the UAE's cultural richness. Strategic partnerships with global entities like BMI and SoundExchange are expected to enhance transparency and revenue distribution. The initiative is a significant step forward in positioning the UAE as a regional hub for music and creative enterprise. News Source: Emirates News Agency

Egypt Licenses 16 Fintech Firms to Boost Nonbanking Sector Digitisation

Sixteen companies have received fintech licenses from Egypt's Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) to support the digital transformation of the nonbanking financial sector, FRA Chairperson Mohamed Farid said on Monday (May 26). Four companies are currently registered to offer outsourcing services, with more expected to follow. Speaking at the Caisec25 information security and cybersecurity conference in Cairo, Farid said around 110 institutions now meet the FRA's cybersecurity requirements. He noted, however, that the FRA oversees more than 3,500 entities across various financial activities. The four outsourcing firms operate under a dedicated FRA registry and provide electronic identification, verification, and authentication; digital customer onboarding; electronic contracting; and digital record storage and retrieval. Farid said the FRA aims to build a secure environment that strengthens the nonbanking sector's role in the economy. 'As the regulator of the nonbanking financial sector, which includes capital markets, insurance, and financing activities, the Authority places significant importance on cybersecurity,' he said. 'This involves developing policies and systems to protect customer data and ensure market stability.' He added that the FRA recognises cyberattacks and data breaches as major threats. 'The accelerating pace of digital transformation creates opportunities but also increases cyber risks,' he said. 'This requires urgent development of policies and systems that support sound fintech governance.' Farid also pointed to rapid developments in artificial intelligence, saying institutions must be prepared to manage associated risks and recover from disruptions. 'We need a resilient nonbanking sector that can use technology effectively while handling risks efficiently.' He said building technical capabilities must be matched by improving workforce skills. 'The human element remains central. Specialists in cybersecurity must ensure continuous and comprehensive training for staff.' This follows a recent push by the FRA to digitise financial services, driven by executive decisions under Law No. 5 of 2022, which provides a legal framework for using technology in nonbanking finance.

UAE Transfer Pricing Rules Bring Director Salaries Under New Scrutiny Says ADJC

As businesses across the UAE adjust to the Corporate Tax (CT) regime, ADJC is urging companies to revisit how they remunerate directors, particularly those who may be classified as related parties. Under the new rules, director salaries fall within the scope of Transfer Pricing (TP) scrutiny—an area many businesses are now navigating for the first time. 'The UAE's transfer pricing framework is fully aligned with OECD standards, and that means companies must apply the arm's length principle to all related-party transactions—including director compensation,' said Iftikhar Kazi, Business Manager at ADJC. 'If a director qualifies as a related party, then their salary, bonuses, and benefits must be benchmarked to reflect what an independent party would accept under similar market conditions.' Under UAE CT Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022), related parties include individuals who own or control 50% or more of a business, directors with significant decision-making authority who are also shareholders, and in some cases, even family members. If a director falls into this category, then any payments made to them must meet arm's length criteria—typically substantiated through a benchmarking analysis or Local File documentation. 'Benchmarking director salaries is not just a compliance formality—it's a necessity,' Kazi added. 'Companies should rely on market data from sources such as Mercer, Willis Towers Watson, or regional salary surveys to ensure compensation falls within a defensible range. The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) may challenge excessive payments, especially if they fall outside the interquartile range commonly accepted in transfer pricing reports.' According to Ministerial Decision No. 97 of 2023, companies with revenue above AED 50 million—or part of a multinational group with global turnover exceeding AED 3.15 billion—must maintain contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation, including any material director compensation paid to related parties. ADJC advises UAE businesses to proactively assess their internal remuneration policies, ensure benchmarking is up to date, and prepare robust documentation to withstand potential audits. ADJC is a leading advisory firm in the UAE specializing in corporate tax, transfer pricing, and compliance advisory. With a dedicated team of experts and a deep understanding of regional regulations, ADJC supports businesses in achieving tax efficiency and regulatory
