Companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) reported a 17% year-on-year increase in net profits, exceeding AED 200 billion (USD 54.46 billion) in FY2025, reinforcing the link between strong governance and financial performance.
The exchange achieved a 98% compliance rate for audited financial disclosures, with 99 out of 101 firms meeting the mandated 90-day reporting deadline – underscoring high levels of transparency and regulatory discipline.
Dividend distributions reached nearly AED 74 billion, signalling sustained shareholder returns and investor confidence in Abu Dhabi’s capital markets.
Looking outward, ADX is set to deepen global capital ties through a Hong Kong roadshow held alongside the HSBC Global Investment Summit 2026, strengthening its position as a gateway for international investment into the UAE.
