ADX and AIX Launch Direct CSD Link to Boost Investments
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and the Astana International Exchange (AIX) have introduced a direct operational connection between their Central Securities Depositories (CSDs). This step aims to simplify cross-border transactions, enhance market accessibility, and encourage greater investment flows between the UAE and Kazakhstan.
This milestone follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed in October 2021, under which AIX joined the Tabadul platform. By complementing the existing Tabadul link, the initiative underscores the growing partnership between the two exchanges. Furthermore, it represents a move toward deeper integration of regional markets and broader opportunities for both investors and issuers.
Driving Investment and Liquidity
The new cooperation is designed to foster seamless cross-border trading and boost market infrastructure. As a result, both markets will benefit from increased liquidity and stronger investor participation. Moreover, this development supports sustainable growth by expanding access and creating more efficient channels for capital flows.
Building a Sustainable Future
This joint initiative highlights a shared commitment to advancing innovation and strengthening market foundations. Additionally, it sets the stage for sustainable economic growth, while positioning both exchanges as vital enablers of cross-border investment and financial integration across the region.
