In a landmark move, the UAE on Monday executed sweeping reforms to its commercial company ownership laws.

UAE allows 100% ownership of businesses for foreign nationals from Dec 1, 2020 with changes to Commercial Company Ownership law.

Seven key takeaways:
---
#1 Companies will no longer be required to have an Emirati national as a majority shareholder in onshore companies, nor will they be required to have a UAE national or a local company as registered agents.
---
#2 Some sectors, including oil and gas, utilities and transport, are exempt from the new law.
---
#3 These changes will supersede the Foreign Direct Investment Law (Federal Law by Decree No. 19 of 2018 regarding FDI), which is cancelled.
---
#4 Companies that wish to go public can also sell 70 per cent of their shares in an IPO, instead of the previous limit of 30 per cent limit – a move that could help boost the liquidity of local stock markets.
---
#5 These new clauses will be added to the current Commercial Companies Law, which will have 51 articles amended - and three new ones added - to accommodate changes.
---
#6 Most of the changes are expected to relate to limited liability companies (LLCs) and joint stock companies.
---
#7 Local authorities such as the Dept for Economic Development will be able to regulate participation levels of Emiratis in companies.
