Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) recorded a 33% year-on-year increase in assets under management during Q1 2025, reflecting strong investor confidence and the continued success of its strategic initiatives.
Over 600 new businesses were established in ADGM’s expanded zone on Al Reem Island, highlighting the financial centre’s growing appeal to international firms, particularly from Europe and Asia.
ADGM attributes the strong performance to regulatory enhancements, global market confidence, and the appeal of its legal framework which is the only one in the region to directly apply English common law. Officials expect momentum to continue through the year as more global players choose Abu Dhabi as their base in the Middle East.
