Recently, several banks had indicated intentions to raise the minimum balance requirement. The Central Bank’s directive comes as a relief to lower middle-income employees who may struggle to maintain the higher balance.
This move reflects the Central Bank’s ongoing efforts to monitor the financial landscape, especially as recent data showed a 1.2% increase in bank deposits from January to February 2025.
The decision underscores the regulator’s commitment to supporting the financial well-being of residents in the UAE.
