The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, along with a selection of its listed firms, will be visiting Hong Kong from April 14 to 16 as part of its annual Global Investor Outreach programme.

This roadshow coincides with the HSBC Global Investment Summit 2026, marking ADX’s inaugural international engagement of the year, aimed at deepening relationships with global investors.

This initiative emphasizes Abu Dhabi’s expanding role as a global financial hub, connecting international capital with the promising investment opportunities that the UAE has to offer. The visit also highlights the enduring and mutually advantageous relationship between Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong—two premier global financial centers dedicated to promoting cross-border investment collaboration.

Throughout the outreach, ADX aims to showcase the robust growth potential of its listed companies and its sophisticated market infrastructure. The exchange is ranked among the top 20 worldwide and stands as the second-largest in the region, boasting a market capitalization exceeding $850 billion.

The visit to Hong Kong accentuates the growing synergy between Middle Eastern capital and Asian institutional investors, offering ADX a platform to highlight its varied investment offerings, including burgeoning sectors and dividend-generating opportunities.

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX, remarked that Hong Kong continues to serve as a pivotal gateway for global capital. He emphasized that investors increasingly view Abu Dhabi not just as a secure haven but also as a leading source of returns across sectors such as renewable energy, AI, utilities, healthcare, and fintech.

He noted that this outreach allows investors to directly experience Abu Dhabi’s economic transformation while providing a transparent venue to interact with some of the leading firms listed on the exchange.

In spite of global market fluctuations, ADX has shown remarkable resilience, buoyed by Abu Dhabi’s strong credit ratings and stable regulatory backdrop. Investor confidence remains robust, as evidenced by heightened trading activities and volumes.

In 2025, ADX reported significant advancements, with market capitalization exceeding AED 3.13 trillion, reflecting a 4.6% growth from the previous year. Total trading value surged by 12.6% to surpass AED 385 billion, while daily trading value averaged AED 1.52 billion.

Foreign investor engagement also saw an uptick, with trading value increasing by 13.8%. Institutional investors represented 78% of total trading, reinforcing ADX’s role as a preferred hub for global capital.
