FP Markets has secured a Category 5 licence from the UAE’s Capital Market Authority (CMA), marking an important step in the broker’s expansion into the United Arab Emirates and strengthening its regulatory footprint across the region.
The licence is held by FP Markets MENA Securities L.L.C. S.O.C., the group entity established to support the company’s activities in the UAE.
The approval gives FP Markets a stronger regulatory foundation in one of the Middle East’s most important financial markets and reflects the company’s broader strategy of expanding through locally regulated entities.
Expanding FP Markets’ Presence in the UAE
The UAE has become a key destination for international brokers and financial services companies, supported by a rapidly developing capital markets ecosystem and growing demand for investment and trading services.
For FP Markets, the Category 5 licence strengthens its ability to build a long-term presence in the country while operating within the local regulatory framework.
The company said the development reflects its commitment to maintaining strong regulatory standards as it grows across international markets.
Strengthening the Group’s Regulatory Footprint
FP Markets operates across a number of regulated jurisdictions and has continued to expand its global presence in recent years.
The new UAE licence adds another regulated entity to the group and reinforces its focus on combining international expansion with local compliance requirements.
Through FP Markets MENA Securities L.L.C. S.O.C., the broker will be positioned to further develop relationships with clients, partners and financial market participants in the region.
Long-Term Focus on the MENA Market
The licence also highlights the growing strategic importance of the Middle East to FP Markets.
The company has been increasing its presence across the region as demand for online trading, investment products and financial technology continues to grow.
By securing a Category 5 licence from the UAE CMA, FP Markets is reinforcing its long-term commitment to the MENA market while continuing to build its business on a regulated and sustainable foundation.
