ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) has announced its formal participation in the Majarra initiative, a global platform designed to integrate international capital market issuances, trading and distribution. The initiative is centralised within ADGM and powered by Halo Investing, working in coordination with local regulators and liquidity providers.
FAB said its participation is a strategic step that strengthens its role as a driver of global investment flows, capital mobility and financial innovation. The partnership is expected to create new opportunities across the bank’s core businesses through a shared vision of a more transparent, efficient and interconnected financial system.
The collaboration will enhance FAB’s wealth management offering by giving clients access to a broader and more differentiated range of investment products. Through Majarra’s network, clients will be able to invest in a deeper pool of cross-border opportunities and specialised investment vehicles that previously were less accessible.
FAB will also gain expanded distribution capabilities, enabling the faster and more efficient placement of debt, structured products, Islamic finance solutions and treasury instruments with both onshore and offshore investors. Majarra’s integrated framework is intended to support greater liquidity and reduce transactional friction.
According to the release, Majarra’s broader objective is to provide a stable, innovative and interconnected global capital markets network, while establishing a hub for Islamic finance within ADGM. By standardising protocols and harmonising regulatory technology, the initiative aims to lower the cost of capital and strengthen the efficiency of financial markets on a global scale.
