UAE clears 100% ownership rules | ZAWYA MENA Edition:

The UAE has released the full list of 122 categories for 100 per cent ownership in the mainland under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Law.

Cabinet Resolution No.(16) of 2020 determines the 'Positive List' of sectors and economic activities in which foreign direct investment is permissible and the percentage of ownership is 100 per cent.

In 2019, the UAE Cabinet had approved a Positive List of activities under which 100 per cent foreign ownership in companies outside free zones was permitted. However, this remained subject to certain criteria being satisfied.

The list covers key sectors - agriculture; manufacturing; transport and storage; hospitality and food services; information and communications; science and technology; healthcare; education; art and entertainment; and construction.
