Good morning, wonderful people. <\/strong>We've finally come to the end of a short but eventful workweek \u2014 we hope you get to recover this long weekend with your friends and family. Today\u2019s issue is brisk, with the big story of the day being ADQ\u2019s potential acquisition of Limagrain\u2019s vegetable seeds division, alongside the DIFC\u2019s new proposal for a variable capital company regime. <\/p>\n

***A QUICK PROGRAMMING NOTE: <\/strong>EnterpriseAM UAE will also be off tomorrow in observance of Islamic New Year. We\u2019ll be back in your inboxes at the usual hour on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Travellers are advised to arrive three hours before departure, clear immigration 1.5 hours before, and reach the gate one hour before.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry, things should be running<\/strong> on schedule: <\/strong>Emirates said<\/a> it resumed regular operations shortly after briefly halting some services earlier this week<\/a> following Iran\u2019s attack on the US military base in Qatar. Flights to Amman and Beirut, which were temporarily suspended<\/a>, have also resumed.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning a staycation or just planning to spend the long weekend somewhere in <\/strong>the city, this one\u2019s for you: <\/strong>Dubai\u2019s Roads and Transport Authority will waive parking fees at all public zones tomorrow for the for Hijri new year, according to a statement<\/a>. The move excludes multi-level terminals, and normal parking charges will resume on Saturday, 28 June. <\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi <\/strong>will see a high of 34\u00b0C and an overnight low of 30\u00b0C, though it will feel much hotter due to the humidity.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- <\/strong>Mubadal<\/strong>a Capital is expected to be a cornerstone investor in the IPO of Hong <\/strong>Kong-based ins. firm FWD Group Holdings<\/strong>, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing sources familiar with the matter. FWD\u2019s IPO is projected to raise around USD 500 mn, with expectations for the books to open as early as today. The firm may be valued at as much as USD 6 bn.<\/p>\n

Who else is pitching in?<\/strong> Japan\u2019s T&D Holding is also predicted to be a cornerstone contributor, with the existing preliminary interest from global investors being enough to cover the books about two times ahead of its launch, sources said.<\/p>\n

ADVISORS-<\/strong> Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are joint sponsors for the IPO, with HSBC Holdings acting as the financial advisor.<\/p>\n

Mubadala \u2764\ufe0f Asia-Pacific (APAC):<\/strong> Mubadala has been ramping up its Asia-Pacific investments over the past couple of years, with a USD 1 bn<\/a> partnership with Goldman Sachs to invest in private credit in the region. The fund also committed undisclosed amounts to PAG\u2019s renewable energy fund PAG REN I<\/a>, and Indian healthcare network Manipal Health Enterprises<\/a>. These investments align with its plan to more than double<\/a> its assets in Asia to 25% from the 12% currently under its management.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- <\/strong>Abu Dhabi <\/strong>Investment Authority (ADIA) took part in Mumbai-based HDB <\/strong>Financial <\/strong>Services\u2019 I<\/strong>NR 3.4 bn (c. AED 1.4 bn) pre-IPO funding round<\/strong>, alongside 140 other anchor investors, The Times of India<\/a> reports. The company sold over 45.5 mn equity shares at INR 740 apiece to domestic mutual funds, ins. companies, and foreign institutions.<\/p>\n

The firm is launching a INR 1.2 bn IPO<\/strong>, open for public subscription until Friday, 27 June. The listing aims to boost the firm\u2019s Tier 1 capital base to support its growth and lending capabilities, with the shares expected to be listed on the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange on 2 July. The IPO was subscribed 37% on its first day, Mint<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n

This comes as Adia continues to capitalize on investments in the Asian country <\/strong>after spending nearly USD 1 bn<\/a> on its Indian portfolio in 1H 2024. The fund participated in Ather Energy\u2019s USD 156.9 mn<\/a> pre-IPO funding round and invested some USD 750 mn<\/a> in GMR Group. It was also reported to eye stakes in the education loan provider HDFC Credila Financial Services<\/a> and Indian telco Vodafone Idea<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- <\/strong>Abu Dhabi trial run<\/strong>s new delivery drone:<\/strong> Homegrown aviation tech firm LODD and trade and logistics firm 7X launched Abu Dhabi\u2019s first pilot flight for drone-based parcel delivery, according to a statement<\/a>. The test flight was conducted in Khalifa City and saw an autonomous drone transport a simulated package from a local post office to a designated drop point, operating using a secure winch-based delivery arm. The pilot \u2014 conducted with supervision from the general civil aviation authority (GCAA) \u2014 is part of Abu Dhabi\u2019s strategy to advance autonomous mobility and drone-based logistics in the Emirate. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong> LODD and 7X will work with regulators and industry partners to hone in on procedures, consolidate regulatory compliance, and collect operational insights to support a wider rollout.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Dubai also <\/strong>kicked off<\/a><\/strong> drone deliveries late last year in Dubai Silic<\/strong>on Oasis <\/strong>with the first order from the Rochester Institute of Technology-Dubai, one of the landing points within the drone delivery network. <\/p>\n

\n

#4- <\/strong>Yas Waterworld\u2019s long-awaited expansion will open to the public on Tuesday 1 July<\/strong>, developer Miral said in a Facebook post<\/a>. The 13.4k sqm extension on Abu Dhabi\u2019s Yas Island introduces 20 new rides and attractions under a new Lost City theme, and will bring the park\u2019s total offerings to more than 60 experiences, according to an Abu Dhabi Media Office statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The development is part of Miral\u2019s drive to make the island a global leisure hub<\/strong>, with Disneyland<\/a> being the latest project that is set to come to the island, joining the likes of Warner Bros. World, Ferrari World, and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

DATA POINT- <\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he Central<\/strong> Bank of the UAE\u2019s (CBUAE) foreign assets rose 8.7% q-o-q to AED <\/strong>935.2 <\/strong>bn in 1Q 2025<\/strong>, according to its latest Quarterly Monetary, Banking, & Financial Markets Developments Report (pdf)<\/a>. The increase was driven by a 94.7% surge in foreign investments, which offset declines in bank deposits abroad, current account balances, and other foreign assets. On an annual basis, foreign assets were up 27.8%.<\/p>\n

Consumer lending surges:<\/strong> Personal loans to residents climbed 3.5% q-o-q to AED 505.9 bn, marking a 17.5% y-o-y increase \u2014 one of the sector\u2019s strongest annual gains.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- <\/strong>Total bank assets reached AED 4.7 tn<\/a> at the end of March, up 3.5% from the previous quarter. Gross credit rose 2.7% q-o-q to AED 2.2 tn. Total deposits climbed 3.1% to AED 2.9 tn, with resident deposits rising 3.3% to AED 2.7 tn \u2014 up 10.3% y-o-y \u2014 and non-resident deposits up 1.2% to AED 248.0 bn \u2014 up 12.5% y-o-y.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure and licensing tick up:<\/strong> The number of ATMs in the UAE rose by 24 during the quarter to 4.8k. The total number of licensed financial institutions stood at 173, including 11 wholesale banks, 68 representative offices, 18 finance companies, and 75 moneychangers.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

Two big stories are getting plenty of ink in the foreign press this morning:<\/strong> Nato\u2019s agreement to hike security spending, and the latest around Iran, from how much damage the US\u2019 strikes on its nuclear facilities actually inflicted to what\u2019s next for the nuclear agreement. <\/p>\n

From the Hague, Nato agreed to increase spending to 5% of GDP<\/strong> \u2014 up from 2% as of this year \u2014 and renewed their \u201cironclad commitment\u201d to security in a show of strength that pushes back against Russia. The move to hike spending is understood to be great news for US President Donald Trump, who has been calling on his European allies to increase spending on security. Trump also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the sidelines of the summit, as he looks to secure more US weapons. (Bloomberg<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | Guardian<\/a> | New York Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Over in Iran, speculation continues around the extent of damage on its nuclear facilities following the US\u2019 attacks on three of its sites<\/strong>, with Trump asserting that the intelligence report<\/a> from a day earlier was inconclusive and that the damage was actually severe. Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei later said the sites were \u201cbadly damaged\u201d in a TV interview. It\u2019s still unclear how badly they were hit, with some sources saying the nuclear program was set back only a few months\u2019 time, and others \u2014 namely, Israel \u2014 saying it\u2019s years. (Bloomberg<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>) <\/p>\n

ALSO- Trump said Iran and the US will meet next week<\/strong>, saying a nuclear agreement could be on the table but that it might not be necessary given the damage that had already been inflicted on Iran\u2019s nuclear program. (Bloomberg<\/a> | NYT<\/a> | Axios<\/a>)<\/p>\n
