ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
ADNOC Gas has announced that its shares will be added to the FTSE Emerging Index. The inclusion, part of the FTSE Russell Global Equity Index Series, will take effect when markets open on September 22, 2025.
The company said in a statement that the milestone would broaden its shareholder base, enhance liquidity on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), and strengthen its global investment profile. The FTSE Emerging Index is widely tracked by international investors and measures the performance of large and mid-cap companies across advanced and secondary emerging markets.
Fatema Mohamed Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said: “Joining the FTSE Emerging Index is a strong endorsement of ADNOC Gas’ fundamentals and consistent delivery on our strategy. This achievement reinforces our ambition to diversify our institutional investor base, enhance liquidity, and elevate our global investment profile.
"It follows our recent inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and reflects market confidence in our growth trajectory. With a robust pipeline of strategic projects, including $20 billion in planned capital expenditure, and a clear pathway to deliver over 40% EBITDA growth by 2029 versus 2023, we remain committed to creating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders.”
The announcement follows ADNOC Gas’ successful entry into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in June 2025.
With greater exposure to institutional investors, the company expects to benefit from increased liquidity, deeper market penetration, and enhanced visibility in international markets. Market analysts estimate that inclusion may result in up to $250 million in incremental investment.
