Armenia Stock Exchange (AMX) held a high-level investment forum titled "Unlocking Investment Opportunities in Armenia" hosted by the Tabadul Hub, the first exchange network operating on a mutual market access model in the MENA region.

The event, held at the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), marked an important milestone in AMX’s ongoing efforts to integrate Armenia’s capital market into the regional and international investment ecosystem.  

The forum served as a premier platform to introduce UAE and Middle Eastern institutional investors to Armenia’s investment potential. The delegation highlighted the "bridge" created between the two markets through the Tabadul hub, a platform designed to facilitate seamless cross-border trading across a broad range of financial instruments, beyond equities and ETFs.

The forum featured keynote remarks and expert presentations from senior Armenian

financial-sector representatives:

Mr Armen Nurbekyan, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia delivered a comprehensive presentation on the current state of the Armenian economy, offering in-depth analysis of market depth and growth drivers.

Mr. Avag Avanesyan, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Republic of Armenia, provided the keynote greeting, emphasizing the Armenian government's commitment to capital market development and regional integration.

Brokerage companies from Armenia, including INCORE CJSC, Cube Invest CJSC, and Wilco LLC, were actively engaged, showcasing specific investment opportunities and providing localized expertise to potential Middle Eastern partners.  

 Representatives from the UAE’s business & financial community attended the event, contributing to discussions on cross-border trading, brokerage connectivity, and regional liquidity development.

Following Armenia’s official joining of the Tabadul Hub on May 30, this event focused on turning technical connectivity into active capital flow.  Speakers noted that while cross-border trading may appear as "one click" to the end-user, it is the result of months of regulatory alignment and operational coordination between AMX and ADX.

Hayk Yeganyan, CEO of AMX, stated: " Our partnership with ADX and the Tabadul Hub is

more than a technical link; it is a strategic bridge connecting markets, regions, and investors. We’ve gathered here with market participants to utilize this bridge to build a stable and competitive investment ecosystem. By transforming complex regulatory and operational challenges into a seamless ecosystem, we are moving beyond isolated systems to create a long-

term growth engine. With the steadfast support of the Armenian Government, we are committed to positioning Armenia as a reliable, open, and internationally connected

destination for global capital."

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX, said: “The Tabadul Hub is an extension of ADX’s commitment in fostering capital market integration and facilitating stronger financial cooperation in the region and beyond. AMX went “live” on Tabadul about eight months ago and we are seeing strong interest in their market. By linking markets and investors, we are making cross-border investment more accessible and impactful for issuers and investors.

The event concluded with a series of networking sessions aimed at establishing long-term partnerships between Armenian financial institutions and UAE-based institutional investors, positioning Armenia as an increasingly attractive and transparent destination for international capital.
