Economic prosperity requires the presence of successful, efficient and effective institutions operating within a strong, fair and sound commercial and legal framework. Financial markets are among the most important of these institutions, as they mobilize savings and direct them towards available investment venues and reallocate investment to most productive uses. Markets provide the necessary platform for financing projects. They create investment opportunities and establish a vital link between savers on the one hand and investors on the other.

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) recognises that fair open and efficient markets need to be transparent. ADX constantly seeks to utilize all available means of communication to inform the public of its activities and publish its news and the news of the listed companies and their financial statements, along with price and other market information. Moreover, ADX acknowledges the importance the world wide web (Internet) has come to acquire in today’s world, due to its wide spread use, ease of access and its ability to provide enormous amounts of information in a speedy and low cost manner.

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange’s site is aimed at communicating information to all investors and parties interested in the UAE market all over the world. It provides a gateway to the investment opportunities available in the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.

Two essential criteria were taken into consideration while designing the site: the technical characteristics and the quality of information. Hence, the site aims to use the best techniques to provide detailed information on the market and listed companies, trading data, price and depth information, listed companies’ financial data, historical data which may be of interest to all investors and researchers and of course the rules and regulations by which we administer the market and protect investors and market integrity.

The ADX site can be considered as the official source of essential information to enable investors to make more informed investment decisions about ADX stocks. This in turn, we believe, will enhance investors’ confidence, promote investment awareness in the community, broaden the investor base and contribute to the realization of the market’s objective of being the focal point for UAE listed investment.
