Dean Fernandes was one of the first people to sign up for the initial public
offering (IPO) of Dubai’s road toll-operator Salik when it was announced in 2022.
He invested a little over Dh2,000 in the shares and now, they are valued at
roughly Dh3,300.
A longtime resident of Dubai, he knew that the shares were going to be a winner.
“As soon as I heard that the IPO was going to be announced, I knew I wanted to
buy it,” he said. “I am very happy with my purchase. I can only see the share value
rising steadily.”

Dean is one among thousands of UAE residents who subscribed to the IPO of
Salik and are now counting their gains. Upon debut, the shares climbed 20 per
cent above its listing price. Last month, when it was announced that two new toll
gates would be established in Dubai, the share prices climbed a further 35 per
cent.
