“Can a traditional Gulf stock exchange become the digital gateway for retail and institutional securities access across the UAE and wider MENA region?”
ADX (Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange) is a state-owned financial market infrastructure operator in the UAE, providing equity and fixed income trading and listing services. It has pursued digital transformation partnerships, including with Emirates NBD for instant trading access, to broaden retail investor participation. The exchange operates under SCA regulation and is not a traditional fintech company but rather a regulated market operator embedding financial services into banking partner platforms.
