The Union of Arab Securities Commissions was established in 2007 as an independent, non-profit institution with legal personality and is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates. The UASA (Union of Arab Securities Commissions) includes in its membership securities commissions and market regulators. The UASA aims to raise the legislative and regulatory level of Arab securities markets to reach effective levels of control over transactions in the securities markets.
