The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, ranked among the world’s top 20 exchanges by market capitalisation, and Borsa Italiana, part of Euronext, have signed a letter of intent (LOI) during the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum in Milan, marking an important step toward establishing a new investment corridor between the UAE and Europe. The LOI sets out a framework to explore opportunities for dual listings between ADX and Euronext markets, alongside a strong focus on post-trading interoperability and central securities depository (CSD-to-CSD) connectivity. It will also explore avenues to enhance cross-border market access through Tabadul, the MENA region’s first mutual market-access platform. These initiatives reflect ADX’s focus on regulatory coordination, operational readiness, and robust post-trade infrastructure as the basis for effective cross-border market connectivity. Investors from Borsa Italiana stand to benefit from Abu Dhabi’s expanding and dynamic capital markets.
