“This Islamic bond also emphasizes the key role of Nasdaq Dubai as a well-regulated platform in regional and global markets.”
In turn, Al Shamsi said: “The speed of issuance and listing by leading institutions in the UAE and other regions underscores their deep confidence in the favorable ecosystem of Nasdaq Dubai. The issuance and listing so far this year has strongly consolidated Nasdaq.

Ali said that the listing has further promoted the exchange’s prominent position as a world-class market for sukuk and bond listings in the Middle East and North Africa. “Nasdaq Dubai is continuously strengthening its infrastructure and regulations to meet the requirements of our major issuers seeking to fund their growth strategies and provide investors with diversified opportunities.”
