The Middle East is one of the most dynamic economies globally, and the region’s legal and regulatory landscape is constantly evolving to stimulate economic growth and align with international standards. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia (KSA) are leading the way in driving the legislative reform agenda across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and realizing their governments’ economic visions.
