Our work with Nasdaq Dubai will support the aspirations of the private sector, specifically those working in various real estate activities, who want to register a great presence in the market through being listed. This cooperation underlines the DLD’s contribution to the achievement of sustainable development in our local economy, and improves credibility and consolidates transparency in the real estate sector.”
