Our services in the field of financial markets and securities focus on the markets in which securities are traded, which include stocks and bonds. The presence of the capital market is of great importance for promoting economic growth, as it allows providing multiple options for financing businesses and companies through various financial means. In addition, these markets give individuals and companies the opportunity to explore investment opportunities in various fields, enabling them to achieve tangible returns for their money.

  The importance of capital markets is that they are considered a financial means that moves money from savers to borrowers, which contributes to stimulating the economy. The Securities and Commodities Authority in the Emirates is an independent body that guarantees integrity and transparency in the financial markets.

  The Abu Dhabi Securities Market and the Dubai Financial Market operate under this authority, as both markets provide efficient and safe trading platforms that contribute to enhancing interaction between investors and companies.

Borrowing instruments

The capital markets in Dubai have witnessed a positive growth in Sukuk listings, providing wider investment options for local, regional and international investors, in light of the increasing global growth in the Sukuk and bonds market.

Sukuks (Islamic bonds)

Bonds, including sukuk, are bonds that are formulated to comply with Islamic Sharia principles, but unlike traditional bonds, they do not include the payment of interest. Sukuk depend on collecting money from their owners and investing it in appropriate financing contracts and investment contracts. However, instead of paying money directly to those requesting financing in exchange for repayment in the future, transactions are carried out on assets, beneficial rights, and financial rights. The Dubai Financial Market and Nasdaq Dubai provide a unified platform for listing and trading a range of sukuks, including sukuks listed by issuers, government agencies and government-linked companies.
