The list of entities that are exempt from the application of the UBO Resolution has been expanded to include entities listed on international stock exchanges that impose similar disclosure requirements regarding UBOs and their majority-owned subsidiaries as well as entities that are wholly owned by foreign governments.

New entities licensed under the Foreign Direct Investment Law (FDIL) are given a three-month grace period to register their UBO information.

Penalties for non-compliance with the UBO Resolution have been clarified. These include being subject to stricter sanctions, which may apply under anti-money laundering legislation, potential financial penalties, and suspension and de-registration of entities that may apply in relation to breaches of UBO requirements.
