4/28/25, 10:11 AM UAE’s IPO pipeline set for growth with potential Cafu stake sale | The National
Overall, 2024 saw the highest Gulf IPO volumes on record, with 53 listings across the region and a total of $13.2
billion raised, the report said.
In 2021, the Dubai Financial Market unveiled an incentives programme to encourage new IPOs from private sector
companies in key economic sectors that contribute to the country's gross domestic product.
The incentives included financial support to the cost of listing on the bourse, post-listing support through participation
in its international roadshows regionally and globally, and a three-year waiver on listing fees.
The same year, Dubai revealed plans to list 10 government and state-owned companies on the DFM as part of a
broader strategy to double the financial market's size to Dh3 trillion.
