Al Mansouri said that arbitration is one of the key instruments to resolve disputes amicably and thus enhance investor confidence in the economy’s fundamentals to support businesses.
He said the country is in the process of developing about 14 regulations, which include a law on foreign investment, a companies law and a competition law.
The draft law addresses arbitration procedures, confidentiality, and the selection of arbitrators.It will also cover Islamic arbitration and will be the first to govern arbitration and reconciliation procedures nationwide.

The draft federal law of arbitration is taking feedback from these centres as well as the International Islamic Centre for Reconciliation and Arbitration.
