• Strengthening business continuity amidst ongoing regional changes and evolving dynamics

As part of monitoring current regional and international developments and their potential economic implications, Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) – in its commitment to bolstering the operational resilience and business continuity of its regulated entities – has directed companies and institutions within the non-banking financial sector to implement a remote work system every Sunday throughout April 2026. This implementation is at the discretion of each entity, based on the specific nature of their activities.

This directive aligns with the State’s proactive framework for managing current variables, emphasizing that both integrity of client services and operational efficiency must remain constant.

The Authority underscores the paramount importance of maintaining business continuity, ensuring that client interactions remain seamless via call centers and technical support. It further stresses the necessity of sustaining the performance of digital platforms while fortifying cybersecurity frameworks and data protection systems.

All necessary measures must be taken to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of non-banking financial services and the full operation of core functions. This requires close coordination between departments and ensures that company branches and headquarters remain prepared to monitor workflows and uphold institutional performance standards.

FRA calls upon all relevant parties to take the appropriate steps to implement these directives. The situation will be re-evaluated by the end of April 2026 in light of evolving circumstances.

The Authority reaffirms its full commitment to monitoring global and local developments, supporting the stability of non-banking financial markets, and safeguarding the rights of all stakeholders.
