Regulatory — Daily Digest Publisher

Purpose

Regulatory change in MENA is constant and fast-moving. A daily digest ensures that legal teams, compliance officers, and clients stay current without spending hours monitoring multiple official publications. This workflow aggregates, filters, summarizes, and delivers a curated daily digest at 8am on every weekday — covering the key MENA regulatory bodies plus international developments that affect the firm's client base.

GCC / Regional

• GCC Secretariat — unified standards and protocols

• FATF — mutual evaluation reports, guidance notes (especially when MENA countries are assessed)

Processing Pipeline

Step 1 — Content ingestion (automated, nightly)

• Crawl official gazette and regulator websites for new publications
• Parse Arabic-language publications (Arabic NLP required)
• Parse English-language publications
• Deduplicate against prior 7 days
• Flag items older than 24 hours that were not captured in prior editions

Step 2 — Relevance scoring

For each new item, assign:

• Domain tags (AML, data protection, corporate, financial services, employment, etc.)
• Jurisdiction
• Urgency (IMMEDIATE = compliance deadline within 30 days; HIGH = 31–90 days; ROUTINE = 90+ days or informational)
• Firm practice area match (which practice groups and client types are affected)

Filter out: procedural government notices, infrastructure spending announcements, non-regulatory administrative matters.

Step 3 — Summarization

For each item that passes the relevance filter:

Summary format:

[JURISDICTION] — [REGULATORY BODY] — [DOMAIN]
[Urgency badge: IMMEDIATE / HIGH / ROUTINE]
[Headline: 1 sentence describing the development]
[Summary: 3–5 sentences — what changed, who is affected, key date]
[Source: link to official publication]

Arabic-language items: provide Arabic original reference + English summary. Do not mistranslate — if uncertain, note "Arabic-language summary; verify against original."

Step 4 — Assembly and formatting

Digest structure:

# MENA Regulatory Digest — [Date]

## IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
[Items with compliance deadlines within 30 days]

## TODAY'S DEVELOPMENTS

### UAE
- [Item 1]
- [Item 2]

### KSA
- [Item 1]

### Lebanon
...

### Egypt
...

### GCC / Regional
...

## UPCOMING DEADLINES THIS WEEK
| Date | Jurisdiction | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| [date] | UAE | CBUAE Open Banking Phase 2 |

## ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND COURT DECISIONS
[Any enforcement notices or published court/tribunal decisions with regulatory implications]

*Sources: [list of official publications checked]*
*Next digest: [tomorrow's date] at 8:00 AM*

Step 5 — Delivery

• Email: HTML-formatted email to configured recipient list (firm distribution list + opted-in clients)
• Slack: summarized version in #regulatory-digest channel; IMMEDIATE items also posted to #urgent-regulatory
• Firm portal (if configured): posted to internal knowledge base
• Archive: stored with date stamp for future reference and contradiction checking

Quality Controls

• If fewer than 3 items are identified on a given day, the digest still publishes with a note: "No new regulatory developments today that meet the relevance threshold."
• If a major development is identified (new law enacted, significant enforcement action), a supplementary alert is sent immediately outside the daily digest cycle — see [[pa-workflow-regulatory-client-alert-drafter-firm-voice]].
• Items are not published in the digest until source verification is complete — no social-media-sourced updates without official publication confirmation.

MENA Publication Timing Notes

• UAE Official Gazette: published daily except Fridays; usually online within 24 hours of decree issuance
• CBUAE circulars: published directly on CBUAE website; no gazette requirement
• KSA Umm Al-Qura: published Fridays; SAMA circulars published directly
• Lebanese Official Gazette: published Mondays and Thursdays (historically); delays are common
• Egyptian Official Gazette: published daily; available online with some delay

Weekday-only delivery accounts for the Saturday–Sunday weekend in MENA. On Monday mornings, the digest includes Saturday + Sunday items.
