On the listings, ADX Managing Director and CEO Saeed Hamad Al Dhaheri said: "Taqa’s secondary listing of $8.25 billion of bonds on the ADX demonstrates the robust confidence that fixed-income issuers have in our flourishing debt capital market."
 
"At the same time, we are delighted to be offering market participants a greater range of securities on our exchange as part of our ‘ADX One’ strategy to enhance market liquidity and attract more international investors," he noted.
 
Taqa’s Group CEO and Managing Director Jasim Husain Thabet said the listing of these nine bonds on ADX is an important milestone for both organisations as it provides additional liquidity for local and regional investors and strengthens Abu Dhabi’s debt capital market. 
 
"Taqa is proudly an Abu Dhabi-based company – a market critical to our strategy for growth. Extending investment opportunities to our stakeholders across the emirate will contribute to the development of the local capital markets at a time when the UAE is experiencing stable economic growth year on year," stated Thabet.
 
"With our strong balance sheet and our growth ambitions, we believe that Taqa continues to create value in the Emirate through a thriving utilities sector," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
