Forbes Middle East - English|September 2022
Last year was a great year for asset management companies in the Middle East, thanks to the performance of the region’s stock exchanges, which have created over $1 trillion in wealth since the beginning of 2021. The total market cap of the Middle East’s stock exchanges stood at $4.5 trillion as of July 31, 2022, compared to $3.2 trillion in December 2020. Among the largest indices, the ADI (Abu Dhabi Exchange) and the Saudi TASI gave the most returns, appreciating 68.2% and 29.8% in 2021, respectively. Syria’s Damascus Stock Exchange Weighted Index (DWX) appreciated 116.4% in 2021, making it the region’s best-performing index, according to the Arab Federation of Capital Markets.
