The success of Dubai’s diversification efforts once again came to the fore on Wednesday, as the

emirate’s benchmark stock index marked year-to-date gains of 10.6 per cent, despite facing global
headwinds and geopolitical uncertainty.

The DFM General Index registered its third consecutive monthly gain in June, rising by 4.1 per cent
to close the month at 5,705.76 points. This increase lifted the index’s gains to the second highest in
the Gulf Cooperation Council after Kuwait, which has gained 14.8 this year and 4.2 per cent last
month.
