Middle East Stock Exchanges

The Abu Dhabi Securities Market is the first stock exchange in the Middle East to foster XBRL (eXtensible business reporting language) by recommending that all listed companies in the UAE use it to facilitate analysis, improve the quality of financial information, and enhance transparency. In other words, the UAE is the first country in the Middle East to be awarded an XBRL provisional jurisdiction and ADSM is the first exchange.

Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) is supervised by the Capital Market Authority (Saudi Arabia). It has signed a contract with OMX (a leading supplier and operator for stock exchange technologies) for the design, supply and implementation of trading, information dissemination, surveillance and depository and settlement systems.

NASDAQ Dubai was formerly known as the Dubai International Financial Exchange. Its equity derivatives market won the Futures & Options World (FOW) 2009 Award for "Best innovation by an exchange in product design, Middle East".
