Shares from Swiss-incorporated companies can now be traded on Dubai Financial Market (DFM) after it has been recognised by Switzerland's Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) as a foreign trading venue.
The recognition also allows Swiss participants supervised by FINMA to gain direct access to DFM's trading venues.
DFM is home to a base of more than 1.2 million investors from 212 nationalities, with foreign investors representing approximately 85 per cent of registered investors.
The development advances DFM's strategy to deepen international investor participation by opening a direct, regulated route for Swiss institutions, strengthening Dubai's standing as a gateway connecting regional and global capital markets.
CEO of DFM and Nasdaq Dubai Hamed Ali, stated that the recognition allows Swiss financial institutions to "connect to our ecosystem and creates new opportunities around Swiss-incorporated securities".
