The UAE has denied it is imposing any restrictions on the movement of capital amid the ongoing Iran conflict.

The ministry of economy and tourism rejected claims on social media that it is preventing foreign investors from transferring or managing their funds as per laws and regulations, state news agency Wam reported.

The ministry said the UAE is committed to economic openness and the free movement of capital, “which reinforces a stable and attractive investment environment”.

The conflict has seen Tehran launching strikes targeting Gulf countries, including the UAE, in response to attacks by the US and Israel. 

Last month, Emirates NBD reported that greenfield foreign direct investment capital rose 79 percent to $33.2 billion in 2025, from $18.7 billion in 2024. The UAE was ranked 10th globally in FDI capital inflows.  

During the 2021-2025 period, the UAE attracted cumulative greenfield FDI of $98.4 billion across 5,603 projects, representing a compound annual growth rate of 32 percent, the lender, which is listed on the Dubai Financial Market, said.
