The DFSA supervises and regulates a total of 337 entities, 270 Authorised Firms, 51 Ancillary Service Providers, 14 Registered Auditors and 2 markets.

International Co-operation

To achieve our objectives, the DFSA continues to forge close ties with other regulatory agencies within Dubai and the UAE, as well as with international regulators and organisations. Access to public information can sometimes be difficult for fellow regulators outside our jurisdiction so a number of links to local registers, the DIFC's two exchanges, DIFC Court decisions, local and English language news sources and telephone directories are provided here.

In the context of non-public information, the DFSA actively pursues alliances and the creation of Memoranda of Understanding with our counterpart regulators. While the DIFC's Regulatory Law governs, these Memoranda facilitate the way in which regulators can assist each other in the pursuit of individual and common objectives, including through the exchange of information and the use of enforcement powers.
