Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Wins Arab Market Award

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group has won the Arab Federation of Capital Markets award for the Arab market with the highest market capitalisation-to-GDP ratio, recognising its performance in 2025.

The award was presented during the federation’s annual conference and official gala dinner in Abu Dhabi.

The group, described as one of the fastest-growing financial market groups in the Middle East, was recognised for the size of its market capitalisation relative to gross domestic product.

The ratio measures the value of listed companies against the size of the economy, rather than ranking exchanges by their absolute market value. The award highlights the Abu Dhabi market’s standing among Arab exchanges on that measure.
