The United Arab Emirates' banking system remains fully operational despite recent missile and drone attacks, according to the country's central bank. Governor Khaled Mohamed Balama reassured markets that banks, financial institutions, and insurers continue to operate with full efficiency and stability, highlighting the sector's resilience during escalating geopolitical tensions.

Regional conflict has intensified following Iranian drone and missile strikes targeting the UAE and neighboring countries. The central bank reported that the UAE banking system maintains strong balance sheet indicators, with a capital adequacy ratio of about 17% and a liquidity coverage ratio exceeding 146.6%, both surpassing international regulatory standards.

With total assets in the UAE banking sector exceeding 5.42 trillion dirhams, the central bank is actively coordinating with financial institutions to ensure operational readiness. This stability is crucial as the UAE establishes itself as a regional financial hub, particularly for digital asset companies, which have begun implementing contingency plans amid the heightened security concerns.
