National International Holding Company debuts on Dubai Financial Market

"Dubai Financial Market is constantly looking to expand and diversify the opportunities available to investors by encouraging and partnering with companies from around the region active in different sectors to benefit from trading on the UAE's leading stock exchange. Companies from across the region also look upon DFM as an attractive exchange with a proven track record of professionalism and state-of-the-art facilities. Due to the relatively high level of liquidity in the local market, companies are very eager to capitalise on their growth through a trading and fundraising window in the UAE. We are delighted to welcome the National International Holding Company to the DFM, which lists many Kuwaiti companies in line with its strategy of strengthening the exchange's position through diversification and expansion of options for investors."

"The move to list on the DFM complements NIH's strategy of expanding locally and regionally, making it easier for investors to trade the company's shares in both Kuwait and the UAE, benefiting from the overall growth achieved by the company. This listing further extends the company's growth strategy, driven by the delivery of outstanding financial returns to shareholders and investors. This listing on the Dubai Financial Market comes after the success of the company's shares on the Kuwait Stock Exchange over the past year and is in line with the company's overall expansion in the Gulf. I would also stress that the choice of financial markets in the UAE and Dubai in particular, are based on the fact that DFM is currently the second largest market in the region in terms of market value."
