UAE
01/迪拜房东在租金重新评估之前须获得裁决
从2024年4月1日起，迪拜的房东在寻求租金重新评估之前必须获得裁决。根据迪拜房地产监管局（RERA)的新要求，房东需要通过租赁纠纷中心（RDC）发起程序以获得必要的裁决以重新评估租金。
Starting April 1, 2024, Dubai landlords are required to obtain a legal order before seeking a rent re-valuation.
Dubai landlords still have the option to apply for a rent re-valuation through the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) if they believe they are entitled to a higher rental rate than suggested by the updated Rental Index.
However, they must adhere to new requirements set by the RERA, which mandate the attachment of a judgment or legal order to their re-valuation request. This requirement applies to all rent re-valuation requests made from April 1, 2024 onwards.
According to the Ejari portal, landlords must initiate the process through the Rental Dispute Centre (RDC) and file a case to obtain the necessary legal order.
Previously, landlords could apply for a rental evaluation to adjust their rental rates based on the outdated calculator.
02/阿联酋政府考虑引入10年和5年的许可证
阿联酋政府正考虑引入10年的金许可证和5年的银许可证，以促进商业活动并增强阿联酋对于企业来此开展业务的吸引力。该提议在经济一体化委员会的会议上进行了讨论。
The UAE government is contemplating a proposal to introduce new commercial licence regulations, including a 10-year golden licence and a five-year silver licence, to boost business activities in the Emirates.
Industry analysts and top executives say if the proposed commercial licenses are introduced they will instil confidence among investors and enhance the attractiveness of the UAE for businesses planning to establish operations here.
“It is certainly a good signal to the whole world that the UAE is opening [up] to international companies to come and make the Emirates their primary home for business,”
The proposal was discussed by the Economic Integration Committee this week during its second meeting of the year under the chairmanship of the Minister of Economy Abdulla bin Touq.
03/阿联酋员工医疗保险法规
阿联酋已实施全国性法规，要求私营部门雇主为缺乏医疗保险的员工提供保险，该决定将于2025年1月1日强制执行。这对员工、保险公司和医疗保健部门都有好处，尽管保费可能会初期上涨，但随着时间推移，预计会稳定下来。
In a significant move, the UAE has implemented a nationwide mandate requiring private sector employers to provide health insurance coverage to employees and domestic workers who currently lack such benefits. The decision will be enforced mandatory starting January 1, 2025.
According to experts in the insurance sector, this presents numerous advantages for all involved parties. For employees, it ensures guaranteed coverage; for insurance companies, it translates to increased revenues, and their risk pools will expand; and for the healthcare sector, it offers an incentive to enhance healthcare infrastructure nationwide.
Only Dubai and Abu Dhabi governments previously made health insurance mandatory for private-sector employees.
“Premiums may rise initially, especially in Shariah due to its large population and associated cost of living, but should stabilize over time once businesses adjust to this new operational expense,” an insurance broker told.
Saudi Arabia
01/沙特阿拉伯工业和矿产资源部发布决议
沙特阿拉伯工业和矿产资源部发布决议，自2024年4月1日起扩大了各种工业产品和材料的关税豁免范围。这一举措将为持有有效工业许可证的企业带来利益，促进工业生产，降低生产成本，并提高沙特工业的竞争力。
In 1 April 2024 an expansion of customs duty exemptions for various industrial products and materials has come into force.
The exemptions came into force on 1 April 2024 following the issuing of a Decision by the Industry and Mineral Resources Ministry last month.
These industrial products and materials include raw materials, semi-finished materials, finished materials, packaging materials, machinery, equipment and spare parts, which are directly required for industrial production operations without any restriction.
The Ministry also clarified that the customs duty exemptions also apply to fully manufactured products as well as materials and items essential for production processes.
The Ministry added that certain items manufactured domestically, either as final products or imported as necessary materials, supported by valid justifications for customs duty exemptions, could be considered for inclusion on the list of domestic industrial capacities.
These exemptions will benefit all industrial entities that have a valid industrial licence from the Ministry.
