Jordan’s capital market institutions, in cooperation with UAE’s Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group (ADX), launched the electronic link between the two markets through the ‘Tabadul’ platform.

The activation of the electronic link falls within the framework of strengthening cooperation between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the UAE, in line with efforts to develop regional financial markets and enhance their integration.

According to the statement, this will help broaden the investor base and increase access to financial markets through cross-market trading between the two exchanges via brokerage firms.
