objectives. Our economic vision is built on openness to the world and we look forward to
investors contributing to, and participating in, our ongoing success story,” HE Dr Thani Al
Zeyoudi said.

Capital Middle East and North Africa CEO, Tarik Chebib, said,“The UAE's stock markets
have seen strong, consistent growth and, in the last two years, have offered the second-
most IPOs globally. This has drawn increasing interest from investors around the world
who are keen to diversify their portfolios and participate in the UAE's remarkable economic
success. It was essential for us to provide direct access to these opportunities, and we are
thrilled to now enable our clients to trade CFDs on ADX and DFM-listed stocks instantly,
seamlessly and securely. As a broker, it positions us nicely into a gateway where they can
now trade across a wide range of markets and asset classes, ranging from local stocks,
cryptocurrencies and commodities, in addition to global stocks, and leading indices.”

The announcement also aligns with Capital's desire to create better-informed investors.
Broadening the accessibility of asset classes comes alongside a focus on financial
literacy, which can support the development of a mature, well-informed trading
environment.

“Financial education is key to empowering traders to make informed decisions,” said Mr
Chebib.“We are committed to delivering high-quality educational resources and in-person
training sessions that cater specifically to the needs of our Middle Eastern clients. Our
mission is to make financial markets more accessible, which means not just offering more
products and indices, but enabling our traders to maximise the benefits they can derive
from it.”

Earlier this year, Capital was awarded the title of“Best Brokerage Company in the Middle
East for 2024” by TradingView, a leading global platform that assesses brokers based on
user ratings, less than a year after the company joined the NextGen FDI initiative
launched by the Ministry of Economy in July 2022. The award is in recognition of the
company's commitment to providing outstanding trading services for users on its platform.
