ADNOC Gas Set to Join FTSE Emerging Index

After debuting on MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) index in June this year, the state-owned ADNOC Gas is all set to join FTSE Emerging Index, which is part of the FTSE Russell Global Equity Index Series (GEIS), with effect from 22 September 2025.

in a regulatory disclosure with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) this morning, ADNOC Gas said that its shares have been selected for inclusion in the FTSE Emerging Index and it is estimated that the company will be unlocking over $250 million in incremental investment.

ADNOC Gas believes this milestone will enhance its visibility among global institutional investors, broaden its shareholder base, and support liquidity on the ADX. It also reinforces UAE’s capital market depth.

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 within the FTSE GEIS.

The other UAE companies which were included in the FTSE index include ADNOC Distribution, Ajman Bank, Multiply Group, Lulu Retail and Borouge.

Strong Endorsement

ADNOC Gas CEO Fatema Mohamed Al Nuaimi said that joining the FTSE Emerging Index is a strong endorsement of ADNOC Gas’ fundamentals and consistent delivery on their strategy.

This achievement reinforces the company’s ambition to diversify its institutional investor base, enhance liquidity, and elevate its global investment profile, she said.

“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,” Fatema added.

With greater exposure to institutional investors, ADNOC Gas expects increased liquidity, deeper market penetration, and enhanced stock visibility – further solidifying its position as a leading energy player in the global market.

ADNOC Gasis a world-class, large-scale integrated gas processing and sales company operating across the gas value chain, from receipt of feedstock from ADNOC through large, long-life operations for gas processing and fractionation to the sale of products to domestic and international customers. ADNOC Gas supplies approximately 60% of the UAE’s sales gas needs and supplies end-customers in over 20 countries.
