Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) is reluctant to raise banks' capital holding requirements to prevent another economic collapse, Emirates Business 24/7 has reported.

"We cannot even make all agree on what should be in the balance sheet and what should be potentially off the balance sheet. And capital requirements are related on what's on the balance sheet and how you valuate it," Koster said.
