ADNOC Gas has been selected for inclusion in the FTSE Emerging Index, a widely tracked benchmark for international investors, effective when markets open on 22 September 2025. The move is expected to unlock more than $250 million in passive fund inflows, strengthening liquidity and widening the company’s global investor base.
The FTSE Emerging Index, part of the FTSE Russell Global Equity Index Series (GEIS), measures the performance of large and mid-cap companies across emerging and secondary emerging markets. Inclusion in the index typically boosts demand from institutional investors who track the benchmark as part of their portfolio allocation.
Analysts say ADNOC Gas’ addition could attract significant inflows, enhancing trading activity on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). The listing follows its earlier inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, marking another milestone in the company’s growing global recognition.
Fatema Mohamed Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, described the index entry as a validation of the company’s financial strength and growth strategy.
“Joining the FTSE Emerging Index is a strong endorsement of ADNOC Gas’ fundamentals and consistent delivery on our strategy,” she said. “With a $20 billion capital expenditure pipeline and a clear pathway to deliver over 40% EBITDA growth by 2029 compared to 2023, we remain committed to creating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders.”
The company emphasized that broader institutional exposure would deepen liquidity, improve stock visibility, and reinforce ADNOC Gas’s position as a leading energy player. The announcement comes as ADNOC Gas accelerates expansion plans across LNG and industrial supply, positioning itself to benefit from rising global demand for natural gas.
Index inclusions have historically provided lasting benefits for regional companies by aligning them with global capital flows. For ADNOC Gas, the dual recognition by MSCI and FTSE Russell places it firmly on the radar of global funds at a time when Middle Eastern markets are drawing increasing investor attention.
With energy transition dynamics reshaping investment strategies, ADNOC Gas’ visibility in major benchmarks could prove pivotal in sustaining its growth trajectory and diversifying its shareholder base.
