Financial promotion rules are enforced by the regulator primarily to ensure that customers are treated fairly. These rules govern how financial products and services are marketed to prevent misleading, deceptive, or aggressive promotions that could harm investors.

While market competitiveness and operational risk management are important, customer fairness is the central objective of financial promotion regulations in the UAE.
