In its analysis about the investment prospects in the Dubai and global stock markets in light of the recent strong performance of major stock indices, a recent Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry study states that major UAE stock exchanges such as the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), Nasdaq Dubai and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) play an important role in attracting investments into businesses whose stocks are traded on these exchanges.

The study further states that the UAE’s strong economic growth has been accompanied by growth in value of stocks traded on UAE stock exchanges as the value of stocks traded on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) in the year 2000 was about AED 437 million, while in the first three quarters of 2013 it shot up to AED 107,863 million.
