In a year marked by national celebrations, the UAE’s financial markets have showcased remarkable growth, with Emirati stocks leading the charge. Analysts attribute this success to the nation’s robust economic development, forward-thinking innovation strategy, and reputation as a safe haven amidst global market volatility. Farhan Badami, Business Development Manager at eToro, highlights the strength of local champions in key sectors like real estate, banking, and technology. As the UAE continues its investment in innovation, infrastructure, and business-friendly reforms, international investors are increasingly viewing the UAE as a core asset rather than a satellite exposure. This is evident in the exceptional returns delivered by top performers such as Union Properties, Amlak Finance, and ADIB.
