The Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection, CCCP, sector at Dubai Economy observed today as 'Compliance Day', as part of spreading awareness of commercial regulations and better compliance among businesses in the emirate.

Compliance Day is celebrated in September every year with CCCP officials visiting commercial establishments to educate businesspeople and their employees on the importance of complying with regulations, without imposing any penalties for violations spotted on the day.

Compliance Day serves to enhance trust and build competitive relations in the local market, eventually promoting business development and the reputation of Dubai as the place to shop, for residents and visitors alike."
