ADNOC Gas has officially joined the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, becoming the third ADNOC Group company to be listed on the global benchmark. The index includes top publicly traded companies across 24 emerging market countries.
The company’s inclusion follows its $2.84 billion (AED 10.3 billion) share offering in February 2025. This transaction increased its publicly available shares by 80%, enabling it to meet the index’s eligibility requirements. As a result, ADNOC Gas becomes the largest new addition to the MSCI Index by market capitalisation.
ADNOC Strengthens Global Market Reach
This milestone reinforces ADNOC Gas’s commitment to expanding its global investor base and improving the liquidity of its shares. It also mirrors earlier moves by ADNOC Distribution and ADNOC Drilling, which entered the MSCI Index in 2021 and 2024, respectively.
Importantly, ADNOC Gas saw a sharp increase in trading on the day before inclusion. The stock attracted $469 million (AED 1.7 billion) in capital inflows, underscoring strong investor interest.
Boosting UAE Capital Market Competitiveness
ADNOC has taken significant steps to grow the UAE’s public markets since listing ADNOC Distribution in 2017. Since then, five additional ADNOC subsidiaries have been listed. Together, these companies now hold a combined market capitalisation of around $140 billion (AED 508 billion).
Through its continued market activity, ADNOC is helping to position the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) as a vibrant hub for global investment. By attracting institutional capital and enhancing liquidity, ADNOC is also reinforcing the UAE’s role as a gateway to regional and international markets.
