Abu Dhabi has unveiled a major restructuring of its sovereign investment landscape with the merger of Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ) into the newly established L’IMAD Holding Company. The move consolidates more than $260 billion in assets under a single platform chaired by Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The integration brings over 25 investment platforms and more than 250 subsidiaries under unified oversight, including Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi Ports, TAQA and PureHealth. Analysts say the consolidation is designed to streamline governance, improve capital efficiency and strengthen alignment between domestic development priorities and global investment strategy.
With an estimated $300 billion under management, L’IMAD now stands as a central pillar of Abu Dhabi’s sovereign ecosystem, reinforcing the emirate’s long-term diversification and non-oil growth ambitions.
