UAE Orders Inspection of Banque Misr Branches After U.S. Cites Iran Links

The UAE central bank has ordered an inspection of Banque Misr branches in the UAE following a U.S. Treasury notice citing alleged links to Iran. Banque Misr, an Egyptian bank, is reviewing the sanctions notice and has stated it will cooperate with the U.S. The UAE and Egypt are coordinating on the issue.

The UAE central bank launched an urgent examination of transactions at Banque Misr branches in the UAE after the U.S. Treasury excluded these offices from the U.S. financial system due to alleged links with Iran. The inspection follows a notice from the U.S. Treasury, which raised concerns about the bank’s dealings with Iran. Banque Misr, an Egyptian bank, has confirmed it is reviewing the U.S. sanctions notice and has pledged cooperation with U.S. authorities.
