The Cabinet of Ministers has approved key amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) to strengthen regulatory capacity, align stakeholder interests, and provide additional time for public and private sector compliance. Recognizing the need for a fully operational enforcement framework, the government has proposed a six-month extension to the original enforcement date of March 18, 2025. These amendments, developed in consultation with the Data Protection Authority (DPA) and other key stakeholders, aim to ensure a smooth transition, greater technology adoption, and enhanced data protection measures across all sectors. The proposed changes will now be submitted to Parliament for approval.
