UAE Stock Exchanges
The UAE has three main stock exchanges. The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) was established in 2000 and lists over 60 companies. The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) was established in 2000 and lists over 70 companies. NASDAQ Dubai (formerly DIFX) operates in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and lists international securities, bonds, and REITs.
How to Start Investing in UAE Stocks

- Fund your brokerage account via bank transfer.
- UAE residents and non-residents can invest in DFM and ADX stocks.
