It includes contact details for companies, date of incorporation, auditors, legal advisors, boards of directors, ownership ratio, ownership structure and number of shareholders during the past four years.

The market listed 16 new companies during the year, bringing the total number of listed companies to 46, an increase of 53.3 per cent compared to the number of listings recorded in 2005. This makes DFM among the markets that achieved the highest rates in terms of listings across the Arab stock exchanges.'

I am delighted to announce the launch of the new DFM guide, which provides the investment community with a range of very useful data,' he added.

Kazim said: 'The publication of this guide is in line with DFM's commitment to transparency and to increase awareness about the market as well as issuers. DFM has focused on developing infrastructure and services to provide the highest levels of customer satisfaction. The market will continue to present equal opportunities to all investors, improve the speed of internal processes, offer flexibility and accuracy, while assuring international standards of transparency and disclosure.'
