Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group announced an 98% compliance rate for the disclosure of 2025 annual financial data, an achievement that reflects an institutional approach based on the highest standards of integrity and transparency, and enhances investor confidence in the robustness and efficiency of the market system. This was directly reflected in the strong performance of listed companies, where total net profits increased by 17% year-on-year to exceed 200 billion dirhams. 99 out of 101 listed and traded companies announced their audited financial results within the legally mandated 90-day timeframe, a clear indication of a high level of commitment and discipline in disclosure. These figures do not include two companies with different financial cycles, as one met the disclosure requirements by the end of June, while the disclosure deadline for the other company, whose fiscal year ends in March, has not yet fallen due. Abdullah Salem Al Nuaimi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group, stated that the high compliance levels and growth in net profits reflect the strength and resilience of companies listed on the Abu Dhabi market and their commitment to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance. He also confirmed that the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group will continue to develop a capital market characterized by efficiency, flexibility, and liquidity, supported by a diverse investor base, strong institutional participation, and advanced regulatory frameworks that enhance investor confidence and solidify the market's attractiveness. He added: "We will continue to support the journey of economic growth and enhance the competitiveness of Abu Dhabi and the UAE, cementing their position as a leading global financial center." In 2025, the companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange distributed cash dividends of approximately 74 billion dirhams to their shareholders and investors, a clear indicator of the strength of their performance and the sustainability of their returns. This ongoing commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance strengthens the market's efforts to attract and retain global capital and specialized talent to Abu Dhabi, solidifying its position as a leading financial center for attracting investment worldwide.
