CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations require that feasibility studies and work plans submitted by licence applicants be evaluated using a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). This comprehensive method assesses the internal and external factors affecting the viability and strategic positioning of the applicant’s business plan. The SWOT analysis helps regulators understand the applicant’s operational readiness, competitive environment, risk exposures, and growth potential, ensuring robust due diligence before licensing. Other methods such as operational risk matrices or stress testing may be used in broader risk assessments but are not the primary evaluation tool for feasibility studies.
