Move to enhance business continuity and sector stability
The Postal Sector Regulatory Committee has approved a comprehensive support package of regulatory measures designed to provide immediate operational and financial relief to companies across the UAE’s Postal and Courier, Express and Parcels (CEP) sector, and help ensure long-term viability and continuity of services provided to customers.
The decision forms part of the Committee’s ongoing efforts to reinforce sector resilience and support business continuity, in line with the national agenda to strengthen vital sectors and maintain the efficiency and sustainability of services across the country.
The approved package includes a full deferral of all fees due for the first quarter of 2026 to the second quarter of the same year, along with a waiver of all associated penalties for the same period.
Regulatory assessment
“The approval of this support package follows a comprehensive regulatory assessment of current market developments and reflects the outcomes of several consultative and collaborative meetings, including sessions with the Advisory Committee for the CEP sector,” stated HE Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Postal Sector Regulatory Committee.
“This decision reflects a regulatory approach that balances supervisory requirements with actual market needs, informed by continued and direct engagement with companies within the sector,” added Mohamed Khalid Bin Sulaiman, Chief Regulatory and Licensing Officer, Regulatory and Licensing Sector.
