Largest Listed Companies in the UAE by Market Capitalization
Three stock exchanges serve the United Arab Emirates: the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), founded in November 2000, the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), launched in March 2000, and Nasdaq Dubai, which opened in 2005 inside the Dubai International Financial Centre. Together, ADX and DFM list roughly 170 companies, while Nasdaq Dubai adds an internationally oriented venue regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority. DFM holds a notable distinction as the first financial market in the world established under Islamic Sharia principles.

- Banking: First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the UAE’s largest bank by assets, trades on ADX, while Emirates NBD — Dubai’s flagship bank — is listed on DFM.
- Telecommunications: Emirates Telecommunications Group (e&, formerly Etisalat) on ADX.
