(MENAFN- Crypto Breaking) Dubai, UAE – 23 July 2025: The UAE's local equity markets have delivered standout returns over the past year, cementing the country's
position as one of the world's best-performing investment destinations. Dubai's equity benchmark, the DFM General Index, surged more than 27% in 2024 and is up a further
18% year-to-date in 2025. This broad-based rally spans financials, real estate, and newly listed infrastructure companies, with Shariah-compliant stocks featuring
prominently among the top performers.

The financial services sector has also played a key role in driving market performance. Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) , the UAE's second-largest Islamic bank, has
posted gains of over 98% including dividends in the last 12 months. Strong digital transformation, rising profit margins, and growing demand for Shariah-compliant financial
services have underpinned this growth. Similarly, Amlak Finance , a key Islamic home financing provider, has seen its stock more than double in value over the past year,
boosted by Dubai's thriving property market.
