Quick Glance: UAE: Sheikh Tahnoon Dominates Billion-Dollar Stock Market
  • The United Arab Emirates’ rulers are soon to achieve a long-coveted distinction: their once sleepy stock exchanges will be home to companies valued at $1 trillion.

  • This outsized success - the markets already ranked 17th in the world by the end of March, ahead of Brazil and Spain - relies on the recent chart-topping performance of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, operated by the country's largest and wealthiest city-state.

  • However, global investors tempted to get involved are faced with the defining feature of the Abu Dhabi market.

  • Royal family member Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan - one of Abu Dhabi's two deputy rulers, national security adviser of the UAE, and brother to its president - dominates almost every aspect of its business.
