The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates has announced an urgent examination and upcoming inspection of local branches belonging to Egypt's Banque Misr. The regulatory action follows a notice from Washington stating its intention to sever the institution's operations in the Gulf state from the United States financial system.

The U.S. measures against Banque Misr are part of broader economic efforts aimed at restricting Iran's financial activities. In response to the U.S. sanctions notice, Banque Misr is currently reviewing the communication as regional financial authorities take immediate steps to assess compliance and operational security within the UAE banking sector.
