WHAT SOME OF OUR SATISFIED CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Hossam EldinBader

Chief Accountant, Gulf Concrete and Blocks

We required a location feasibility study to expand our business into a new emirate in UAE, and we approached Greenland Market Research for this. The project was very professionally handled and the team is very hardworking and punctual. Since a major part of your success depends on an accurate feasibility study, it is imperative that this part is done by someone reliable. We were very satisfied with the results and would strongly recommend Greenland for feasibility studies.

Murtaza Saifuddin

CEO, Casablanca

We required market research to gain insights into the pricing strategies that were being implemented by the businesses in our industry. Greenland was suggested to us by a reliable source and no doubt, they did the job perfectly. Mr. Muffadal and his entire team cooperated very well, and unlike a lot of other firms, they submitted the results to us right on time and were willing to negotiate the prices to fit our budget. They take measures to ensure client satisfaction, which makes the biggest difference to us. I would, with second thoughts, suggest Greenland to anyone needing market research.

Dinesh Charan

Director, Kadence

I would like to take this opportunity to commend the Greenland team on successfully completing fieldwork for an Automotive project. Though the target group was relatively tough and the fieldwork schedule was tight, it is all because of the hard work and dedication of the team that we could complete the project on time. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s role in the success and wish that you will provide the same support for future projects.

Amjad Alshawabkeh

Director, Hashibhasha

It was a great pleasure working with you and your team,  we appreciate all the efforts and inputs to have a successful detailed research report for our Hashi Basha business, which was approved by the Guinness team and met all the expectations.

Once again big thanks and looking forward to working together on future projects.

Hussain Mansoor

CEO, Hype Communications

You require the most support at the beginning of your business. In the unpredictable business world, it helps to have a certain degree of assurance that your product would make it to the ranks of the market. That is precisely what Greenland Market Research offered us. Answers to all our questions about how well would our product fare, and it is because of their findings, that we have been able to make better decisions about our business. The team was cooperative throughout the entire project and didn’t hesitate to throw in a few advice here and there on what would be better. If you are looking for a research partner, I would strongly recommend Greenland.

Utkarsh Verma

Marketing Head, Cars24

I found Greenland Research extremely diligent, professional in the way they do everything related to research. In my first conversation with the team, I was more than sure that I want to work with this team. They were just a phone call away. Please don’t shy away from giving them a chance to get the best consumer insight for your business. Happy researching!

Cahyani Dewi

For those who are considering conducting qualitative research in the MENA region, we strongly recommend Greenland to be your market research partner. We were aware that the recruitment was really challenging but Mufaddal and the team managed to recruit suitable participants on schedule. Even though there were some technical obstacles during the project, the team came up with quick solutions. The moderators were experienced to conduct qualitative studies so they quickly understood the plan and executed it well. Thank you for all your support during our project.

Danmola sheu Adebosipo

Greenland’s approach to customer problems is custom to the customer’s needs. The communication and action to help my reach the company reach its goal were seamless.

Frequently asked questions, what is market research.

In simple terms Market research enables a company to discover the target oriented market and get opinions, reviews and other feedback from consumers about their interest in the product or service

Why market research is important?

Market research helps reduce risk by identifying problematic areas and helps you take profitable risk by allowing you to determine product features, pricing and promotions from the outset. It also helps you focus resources where they will be most effective. In short market research gives you accurate information on Product, Placement, Pricing and Promotion.

How long will it take to complete my market research?

The time taken to complete market research depends on methodology, number of groups and dept of information that has to be studied. A focus group of 10-15 participants can be done in 2 days, whereas face to face interviews of 500 respondents might take 2 – 3 weeks to complete, In-depth interview with 15 participants may take up to 1-2 weeks and telephonic CATI interviews of 500 sample would take 1 – 2 weeks to complete.

What is the difference between Quantitative and Qualitative market research?

Quantitative data collections refers various surveys which includes Online surveys and Polls, Paper surveys, Mobile surveys, Kiosk surveys, Telephone interviews and Face-to-face interviews to collect large amount of data. These surveys enable us to analyze huge data and make decisions on gathered insights.

Qualitative market research includes In-depth Interview, Focus Group Discussion, Ethnographies, Online Focus Group, Audio-Video recording and viewing facilities for the client. These type of market research gives in-depth understanding about people’s beliefs and point of views and what are the deciding factors that influence their behavior

Should I do my own market research or get expert help in?

A good number of companies also believe that they can conduct market research using their own employees. It is no doubt possible to learn a thing or two by questioning your friends and internal contacts, or having your existing employees conducting surveys about the product in concern, but there is a limit to the accuracy of this process. Customers are more likely to express an honest opinion about a particular product to a third and impartial party, than they are to express it directly to the company. Highly-skilled market researchers strive to make their study outcomes as unbiased as possible, this way, you get the correct data and can hence, make a proper plan for the future and tackle the issues in the current workings of the company.

• Why conducting a feasibility study / business plan is important? A proper feasibility study can answer very important questions like: How much money should I (the investor or the founder) have access to in order to launch this business idea? What are the competitive risks that my target market has, and do my product/service have a chance to compete? What are the expected monthly and yearly costs to run my company or business? Where should I advertise and what should I use as my main appeal to attract new customers? What are the expected monthly and yearly profits of my business, are these profits suitable for the money I will invest? And finally the most important question, is this business worth my time and money? is it feasible and profitable?
• How are market insights data collected? It depends on the type of studied business, the needed consumer behavior insight and the target market dynamics. Each research project have its own methodology and challenges. We collect data using one or multiple of the following techniques: Computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI). Focus groups, at our office in Dubai or online (FGDs). Digital observational analysis. Field visits. Mass surveying (Digital or in person). In-depth interviews. Expert panels.
• Can I raise funds using the feasibility study you provide? All of our reports are certified and bankable, and can be used in fund raising from banks, venture capital firms, angel investors, private equity funds, government funds and all other types of investors.
• What languages do you offer your reports in? We provide our reports in either Arabic or English, and we can provide it in any other language you choose at an additional fee.
• How do I know if the sample size is big enough for accurate results? Our team of market research consultants come from specialized backgrounds in research methods and analytics, we structure and build ad hoc methodologies that specifically fit each project, insight, market and the practicality of obtaining that data. We have successfully delivered research projects with sample sizes exceeding 8000 respondents in nationwide scans, as well as small projects that only required two focus groups. We promise our clients to: Propose a research methodology that offers accurate results at the lowest costs possible. Not to exaggerate the required sample size in order to inflate the research cost, unlike many of our competitors.
• I have an established and existing business, how would market research help me? Conducting frequent and periodic market research to observe market changes, trends and new competitive advantages of your direct competitors is a must for a sustainable business. Our company offer periodic intelligence reports to keep a close eye on the market and all relevant players.
• Can you conduct market research for a new business idea that has no local competitors? Assessing the competitiveness scene for an untested and unvalidated market can be challenging, our consultants use a research method that validates the new business model based on its value proposition, we call this method "The pain points analysis" and we use it for all startups that aims to disrupt the market and compete using a brand new business model.

Customer Service Manager at Aafaq Islamic Finance

These guys did great work in helping us gain actionable insights into KSA and UAE. Their qualitative and quantitative research provided Mercedes-Benz deep insights into consumers’ behavior, needs, concerns, perception, and attitudes. Also, the simulation tool they built for conjoint analysis and the price-features tradeoff in the SUV segment is awesome!

Market Research UAE

Helping companies to expand business and capture opportunities in uae..

UAE: Optimal Approach to Lead the Post-Pandemic Era

The COVID-19 pandemic had forced countries globally to postpone their economic activities, including the UAE.

The Arab world's second-largest economy recorded a 6.1 percent contraction in 2020 as tourism and oil became two of the most severely damaged sectors due to the global crisis.

The lockdown of mobility and international trade had put the region into its first recession since the financial crisis in 2009.

Tourism to Recover in 2022

However, the UAE's economy expects to vastly rebound as the region distributes vaccines to contain the spread of COVID-19. Today, UAE is among the fastest globally to inoculate its citizens, with 64.7 percent of the population vaccinated, or equivalent to 12.6 million administered vaccines.

The tactful measure of vaccine progression hopes to help jumpstart UAE's tourism while gradually restoring supply for future oil demands once the price stabilizes.

The plan to hold FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar would be essential in inviting tourists into the UAE and putting the region's tourism and hospitality sectors on the pre-pandemic level.

Government Approach

Aside from tourism and oil-focused accommodative measures, the UAE governments combined have spent over USD 395 billion to cushion the region's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the many pandemic-induced approaches, one of the more significant was the Central Bank's Targeted Economic Support Scheme which provided a zero-cost loan initiative to improve the monetary traffic within the region until mid-2022.

This year, the UAE's credit growth improvement and positive spending would dampen the COVID-19 after effects, putting the region in a bright light seen through the government forecast of a 3.5 percent inflation.

Moreover, the increasing demand for hydrocarbon energy would also catalyze the UAE's growth as the third-largest oil exporter from the Gulf. The hydrocarbon industry is forecasted to answer over 6 million barrels per day by the end of this year.

Oil Uncertainties

However, the oil-driven region still faces the lingering concern of oil prices. 2020 has seen a 20-year low on oil prices that resulted in price wars during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, the cost of oil remains in the range of USD 50 to 60 per barrel, which is still under the required balance to the country's budget breakeven. Therefore, the prolonged pace of oil recovery puts the UAE in a challenging position to survive the instability of the sector.

All in all, the UAE has implemented a high caliber approach to obtain prosperity in the post-pandemic era - from riding the wave of digitization, facilitating demands of renewable energies as countries take on the pledge to reduce their carbon emissions, to optimizing the existing resources necessary for the region's rebound. However, the road ahead still poses challenges and concerns that public and private institutions need to tackle.

Market Research UAE assists industry players in identifying sustainable growth strategies within UAE's multitude of industries, providing a grip of understanding towards the opportunities and potentials beyond the surface level.

Our engagements usually range from market entry strategies, competitive benchmarking, channel model identification, market assessments, M&A, and partner due diligence--without limiting one from the other.

With substantial background experience, Market Research UAE helps clients enter and thrive in the kingdom's market by leveraging an in-depth understanding of the market's characteristics, allowing us to provide a one-of-a-kind perspective and insights essential to your needs.

Next-gen B2B sales: How three game changers grabbed the opportunity

Driven by digitalized operating models, B2B sales have seen sweeping changes over the recent period amid rising customer demand for more seamless and transparent services. 1 “ The multiplier effect: How B2B winners grow ,” McKinsey, April 13, 2023. However, many industrial companies are failing to keep pace with their more commercially focused peers and, as a result, are becoming less competitive in terms of performance and customer services.

The most successful B2B players employ five key tactics to sharpen their sales capabilities: omnichannel sales teams; advanced sales technology and automation; data analytics and hyperpersonalization; tailored strategies on third-party marketplaces; and e-commerce excellence across the full marketing and sales funnel. 2 “ The multiplier effect: How B2B winners grow ,” McKinsey, April 13, 2023.

Companies using all of these tactics are twice as likely to see more than 10 percent market share growth than companies focusing on just one. 3 “ The multiplier effect: How B2B winners grow ,” McKinsey, April 13, 2023. However, implementation is not as simple, requiring a strategic vision, a full commitment, and the right capabilities to drive change throughout the organization. Various leading European industrial companies—part of McKinsey’s Industrial Gamechangers on Go-to-Market disruption in Europe—have achieved success by implementing the first three of these five sales tactics.

Omnichannel sales teams

The clearest rationale for accelerating the transition to omnichannel go-to-market is that industry players demand it. In 2017, only about 20 percent of industrial companies said they preferred digital interactions and purchases. 4 Global B2B Pulse Survey, McKinsey, April 30, 2023. Currently, that proportion is around 67 percent. In 2016, B2B companies had an average of five distinct channels; by 2021, that figure had risen to ten (Exhibit 1).

Excelling in omnichannel means enabling customers to move easily between channels without losing context or needing to repeat information. Companies that achieve these service levels report increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, faster growth rates, lower costs, and easier tracking and analysis of customer data. Across most of these metrics, the contrast with analogue approaches is striking. For example, B2B companies that successfully embed omnichannel show EBIT growth of 13.5 percent, compared to the 1.8 percent achieved by less digitally enabled peers. Next to purely digital channels, inside sales and hybrid sales are the most important channels to deliver an omnichannel experience.

Differentiating inside versus hybrid sales

Best-in-class B2B sellers have achieved up to 20 percent revenue gains by redefining go-to-market through inside and hybrid sales. The inside sales model cannot be defined as customer service, nor is it a call center or a sales support role—rather, it is a customer facing, quota bearing, remote sales function. It relies on qualified account managers and leverages data analytics and digital solutions to optimize sales strategy and outreach through a range of channels (Exhibit 2).

The adoption of inside sales is often an advantageous move, especially in terms of productivity. In fact, inside sales reps can typically cover four times the prospects at 50 percent of the cost of a traditional field rep, allowing the team to serve many customers without sacrificing quality of service. 5 McKinsey analysis. Top performing B2B companies are 50 percent more likely to leverage inside sales.

Up to 80 percent of a company’s accounts—often smaller and medium-sized customers, accounting for about half of revenues—can be covered by inside sales teams. 6 Industry expert interviews; McKinsey analysis. The remaining 20 percent often require in-person interactions, triggering the need for hybrid sales. This pertains to highly attractive leads as well.

Hybrid sales is an innovative model combining inside sales with traditional in-person interactions. Some 85 percent of companies expect hybrid sales will be the most common job role within three years. 7 Global B2B Pulse Survey, McKinsey, December 2022. Hybrid is often optimal for bigger accounts, as it is flexible in utilizing a combination of channels, serving customers where they prefer to buy. It is scalable, thanks to the use of remote and online sales, and it is effective because of the multiplier effect of numerous potential interactions. Of companies that grew more than 10 percent in 2022, 57 percent had adopted a hybrid sales model. 8 Global B2B Pulse, April 2023.

How an industrial automation solution player implemented game-changing inside sales

In 2019, amid soaring digital demand, a global leader in industrial digital and automation solutions saw an opportunity to deliver a cutting-edge approach to sales engagement.

As a starting point, the company took time to clearly define the focus and role of the inside sales team, based on product range, customer needs, and touchpoints. For simple products, where limited customer interaction was required, inside sales was the preferred go-to-market model. For more complex products that still did not require many physical touchpoints, the company paired inside sales teams with technical sales people, and the inside sales group supported fields reps. Where product complexity was high and customers preferred many touch points, the inside sales team adopted an orchestration role, bringing technical functions and field sales together (Exhibit 3).

The company laid the foundations in four key areas. First, it took time to sketch out the model, as well as to set targets and ensure the team was on board. As in any change program, there was some early resistance. The antidote was to hire external talent to help shape the program and highlight the benefits. To foster buy-in, the company also spent time creating visualizations. Once the team was up and running, early signs of success created a snowball effect, fostering enthusiasm among both inside sales teams and field reps.

Second, the company adopted a mantra: inside sales should not—and could not—be cost saving from day one. Instead, a significant part of the budget was allocated to build a tech stack and implement the tools to manage client relationships. One of the company’s leaders said, “As inside sales is all about using tech to obtain better outcomes, this was a vital step.”

The third foundational element was talent. The company realized that inside sales is not easy and is not for everyone—so finding the right people was imperative. As a result, it put in place a career development plan and recognized that many inside sales reps would see the job as a stepping stone in their careers. Demonstrating this understanding provided a great source of motivation for employees.

Finally, finding the right mix of incentives was key. The company chose a system based on compensation and KPI leading and lagging indicators. Individual incentives were a function of whether individuals were more involved with closing deals or supporting others, so a mix of KPIs was employed. The result was a more motivated salesforce and productive cooperation across the organization.

Advanced sales technology and automation

Automation is a key area of advanced sales technology, as it is critical to optimizing non-value adding activities that currently account for about two-thirds of sales teams’ time. More than 30 percent of sales tasks and processes are estimated to be partially automatable, from sales planning through lead management, quotation, order management, and post-sales activities. Indeed, automation leaders not only boost revenues and reduce cost to serve—both by as much as 20 percent—but also foster customer and employee satisfaction. (Exhibit 4). Not surprisingly, nine out of ten industrial companies have embarked on go-to-market automation journeys. Still, only a third say the effort has achieved the anticipated impact. 9 McKinsey analysis.

Leading companies have shown that effective automation focuses on four areas:

• Lead management: Advanced analytics helps teams prioritize leads, while AI-powered chatbots contact prospective customers via text or email and schedule follow-up calls at promising times—for example, at the beginning or end of the working day.
• Contract drafting: AI tools automate responses to request for proposal (RFP) inquiries, based on a predefined content set.
• Invoice generation: Companies use robotic process automation to process and generate invoices, as well as update databases.
• Sales commission planning: Machine learning algorithms provide structural support, for example, to optimize sales commission forecasting, leading up to a 50 percent decline in time spent on compensation planning.

How GEA seized the automation opportunity

GEA is one of the world’s most advanced suppliers of processing machinery for food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. To provide customers with tailored quotes and services, the company launched a dedicated configure, price, quote (CPQ) system. The aim of the system was to enable automated quote creation that would free up frontline sales teams to operate independently from their back office colleagues. This, in turn, would boost customer interaction and take customer care to the next level.

The work began with a bottom-up review of the company’s configuration protocols, ensuring there was sufficient standardization for the new system to operate effectively. GEA also needed to ensure price consistency—especially important during the recent supply chain volatility. For quotations, the right template with the correct conditions and legal terms needed to be created, a change that eventually allowed the company to cut its quotation times by about 50 percent, as well as boost cross-selling activities.

The company combined the tools with a guided selling approach, in which sales teams focused on the customers’ goals. The teams then leveraged the tools to find the most appropriate product and pricing, leading to a quote that could be enhanced with add-ons, such as service agreements or digital offerings. Once the quote was sent and agreed upon, the data automatically would be transferred from customer relationship management to enterprise resource planning to create the order. In this way, duplication was completely eliminated. The company found that the sales teams welcomed the new approach, as it reduced the time to quote (Exhibit 5).

Data analytics and hyperpersonalization

Data are vital enablers of any go-to-market transformation, informing KPIs and decision making across operations and the customer journey. Key application areas include:

• lead acquisition, including identification and prioritization
• share of wallet development, including upselling and cross-selling, assortment optimization, and microsegmentation
• pricing optimization, including market driven and tailored pricing, deal scoring, and contract optimization
• churn prediction and prevention
• sales effectiveness, so that sales rep time allocations (both in-person and virtual) are optimized, while training time is reduced

How Hilti uses machine data to drive sales

Hilti is a globally leading provider of power tools, services, and software to the construction industry. The company wanted to understand its customers better and forge closer relationships with them. Its Nuron battery platform, which harvests usage data from tools to transform the customer experience and create customer-specific insights, provided the solution.

One in three of Hilti’s frontline staff is in daily contact with the company’s customers, offering advice and support to ensure the best and most efficient use of equipment. The company broke new ground with its intelligent battery charging platform. As tool batteries are recharged, they transfer data to the platform and then to the Hilti cloud, where the data are analyzed to produce actionable insights on usage, pricing, add-ons, consumables, and maintenance. The system will be able to analyze at least 58 million data points every day.

Armed with this type of data, Hilti provides customers with advanced services, offering unique insights so that companies can optimize their tool parks, ensuring that the best tools are available and redundant tools are returned. In the meantime, sales teams use the same information to create deep insights—for example, suggesting that companies rent rather than buy tools, change the composition of tool parks, or upgrade.

To achieve its analytics-based approach, Hilti went on a multiyear journey, moving from unstructured analysis to a fully digitized approach. Still, one of the biggest learnings from its experience was that analytics tools are most effective when backed by human interactions on job sites. The last mile, comprising customer behavior, cannot be second guessed (Exhibit 6).

In the background, the company worked hard to put the right foundations in place. That meant cleaning its data (for example, at the start there were 370 different ways of measuring “run time”) and ensuring that measures were standardized. It developed the ability to understand which use cases were most important to customers, realizing that it was better to focus on a few impactful ones and thus create a convincing offering that was simple to use and effective.

A key element of the rollout was to ensure that employees received sufficient training— which often meant weeks of engagement, rather than just a few hours. The work paid off, with account managers now routinely supported by insights that enrich their interactions with customers. Again, optimization was key, ensuring the information they had at their fingertips was truly useful.

Levers for a successful transformation

The three company examples highlighted here illustrate how embracing omnichannel, sales technology, and data analytics create market leading B2B sales operations. However, the success of any initiative will be contingent on managing change. Our experience in working with leading industrial companies shows that the most successful digital sales and analytics transformations are built on three elements:

• Strategy: As a first step, companies develop strategies starting from deep customer insights. With these, they can better understand their customers’ problems and identify what customers truly value. Advanced analytics can support the process, informing insights around factors such as propensity to buy and churn. These can enrich the company’s understanding of how it wants its go-to-market model to evolve.
• Tailored solutions: Customers appreciate offerings tailored to their needs. 10 “ The multiplier effect: How B2B winners grow ,” McKinsey, April 13, 2023. This starts with offerings and services, extends to pricing structures and schemes, and ways of serving and servicing. For example, dynamic pricing engines that model willingness to pay (by segment, type of deal, and route to market) may better meet the exact customer demand, while serving a customer completely remotely might better suit their interaction needs, and not contacting them too frequently might prevent churn more than frequent outreaches. Analytics on data gained across all channels serves to uncover these needs and become hyperpersonalized.
• Single source of truth: Best-in-class data and analytics capabilities leverage a variety of internal and external data types and sources (transaction data, customer data, product data, and external data) and technical approaches. To ensure a consistent output, companies can establish a central data repository as a “single source of truth.” This can facilitate easy access to multiple users and systems, thereby boosting efficiency and collaboration. A central repository also supports easier backup, as well as data management and maintenance. The chances of data errors are reduced and security is tightened.

Many companies think they need perfect data to get started. However, to make productive progress, a use case based approach is needed. That means selecting the most promising use cases and then scaling data across those cases through speedy testing.

And with talent, leading companies start with small but highly skilled analytics teams, rather than amassing talent too early—this can allow them to create an agile culture of continual improvement and cost efficiency.

As shown by the three companies discussed in this article, most successful B2B players employ various strategies to sharpen their sales capabilities, including omnichannel sales teams; advanced sales technology and automation; and data analytics and hyperpersonalization. A strategic vision, a full commitment, and the right capabilities can help B2B companies deploy these strategies successfully.

The multiplier effect: How B2B winners grow

UAE research showcases challenges facing Blockchain implementation in UAE banking sector

T he UAE based ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) Academy research Centre alongside the College of Business and Economics at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEEU) carried out a research project entitled, “Digital Transformation of banking and financial institutions in the UAE: Understanding the common challenges for collective action” aimed at understanding the current landscape of the digital transformation of banking and financial institutions in the UAE.

The results of the research clearly showcase that the UAE banking sector is apprehensive and mostly not enthusiastic about utilizing blockchain technology. The reasons are many, ranging from technical, regulatory and even talent challenges.

The research was supported by senior representatives from across the UAE’s financial sector, who shared their insights via interviews conducted by the research team.

While the research covered an array of technologies, and the digitization history and movement within the UAE, there was a specific section on Blockchain.

Benefits of Blockchain

Interviewees did identify the benefits of blockchain, which according to them facilitated the recording and verification of transactions and their authentication.

The research report also noted that blockchain technology increases the confidentiality and trust for transactions and tracks assets they noted that hybrid systems (blockchain technology and non-blockchain systems) will still be used for the foreseeable future.

Blockchain technology has many other benefits including increased speed of transactions, and reduction in costs and reduced risks because of its tamper proof nature and transparency. So, it is a welcome solution for businesses and customers.

As per the research, blockchain contributes as well to cross border payment, KYC and digital currencies. It states, “It can revolutionize the financial services sector in the UAE by streamlining processes and increasing efficiency and transparency while reducing time and costs. These benefits can lead to increased trust in the financial system as trust is a critical factor in financial decision-making globally.”

UAE Banks and Blockchain

When it came to the research on how ready UAE Banks are for Blockchain, the researchers revealed that both the UAE government and the Central Bank of UAE have supported blockchain initiatives. Yet the technology has only been utilized in some functions in the financial sector.

However, there is no clear indication of how ready the UAE financial and banking system is to move financial statements into a distributed and consensus-driven ledger.

Despite this, interviewees in the report believe that the UAE is an ideal location to leverage the benefits of Blockchain in the financial services and banking sector. 

Tech Challenges

Yet some interviewees believe that most banks have not adopted blockchain because of the technology challenges facing blockchain.

There is an opinion that banks will not move solely to blockchain. They believe that many banks are still considering moving financial statements into a distributed and consensus-driven ledger. The reason is that they need more time to be ready with the IT infrastructure required to build the blockchain-enabled ecosystem.

Despite the view by some that blockchain can generate greater trust in products and services, it was identified that there is a need for more confidence in blockchain itself. The use cases are scattered so finding the proper use case can also be problematic.

Furthermore, cyber security remains a challenge as well as implementing complex IT infrastructure-related blockchain technology in multi-cloud ecosystems.

In addition, others believe that the UAE needs to implement a standard protocol among different financial institutions on how to use blockchain. Some replies stated, “Blockchain is a solution looking for a problem to solve.” The opinion exists that there is no universal case for why the UAE needs blockchain and whether it has the skills, technologies, vendors, and partners to implement it.

The report stipulated that there are two opposing views on the status of blockchain adoption in the UAE. This is in line with global studies. OMFIF (Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum) indicated that 72% of central banks are unsure that blockchain will be used in future payment systems.

Respondents believe it takes time and is costly to transform the existing system. Secondly a standard protocol for operations is not present. Blockchain is also resource hungry.

Some interviewees also experienced integrating blockchain into the traditional fiat money systems managed by governments as a considerable challenge.

There are also skills gap. Some replies explained that blockchain increases the level of complexity in banking, requiring greater skill levels that are already in short supply.

Regulatory challenges

Another challenge mentioned by interviewees was the lack of a unified regulatory framework making cross border transactions difficult.

As per the research, “Some banks perceive a need for a regulatory framework at the CBUAE for blockchain.”

From a governance perspective, some banks believe compliance and legal could be more blockchain-friendly.

While Blockchain has always looked to be a promising technology for the financial and payments sector, it is still facing resistance, even in the UAE which has been a vanguard for blockchain and advanced technology implementations.

Addressing the concerns mentioned in this study should help propel Blockchain further within the banking sector.

New US Sanctions Target North Korean Military Finances

FILE PHOTO: A bronze seal for the Department of the Treasury is shown at the U.S. Treasury building in Washington, U.S., January 20, 2023. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/File Photo

(Reuters) -The United States on Wednesday announced sanctions on six individuals and two entities based in Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates, accusing them of channeling funds to North Korea's weapons programs.

South Korea, a U.S. ally, also imposed sanctions on four of the same six individuals and the two entities.

A U.S. Treasury Department statement and South Korea's foreign ministry said the action was taken in coordination between the two countries.

War in Israel and Gaza

It named the six individuals as Yu Pu Ung, Ri Tong Hyok, Han Chol Man, O In Chun, Jong Song Ho and Jon Yon Gun.

The entities to be hit with sanctions were Alis LLC, based in Vladivostok, Russia, and UAE-based Pioneer Bencont Star Real Estate.

The statement said both firms were subordinate to Chinyong Information Technology Cooperation Co, an entity associated with North Korea's armed forces.

Seoul's foreign ministry said the sanctions target not only individuals directly involved but also those who aided North Korea's illegal financial activities, particularly those earning foreign currency in the information technology sector abroad.

Yu Pu Ung, who laundered money and supplied sensitive materials used to develop North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, was responsible for managing the funds, the ministry said in a statement.

The Treasury Department said Chinyong, which was placed under U.S. sanctions in May 2023, uses a network of companies and representatives to manage delegations of North Korean IT workers operating in Russia and Laos.

The announcement came after the United States and South Korea this week launched a new task force aimed at preventing North Korea from procuring illicit oil, as a deadlock at the United Nations Security Council casts doubts over the future of international sanctions on Pyongyang.

Years of U.S.-led international sanctions have failed to halt North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs, and many North Korea watchers and sanctions experts consider the U.N. regime moribund, if not already dead.
