Good morning, lovely people, and happy hump day. <\/strong>We have a busy issue for you this morning, led by great news for Abu Dhabi, which saw its growth forecast upgraded to 6% by the IMF, as oil hikes and non-oil momentum continue to boost growth prospects. <\/p>\n

In M&A news<\/strong>, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is taking a significant minority stake in Hologic as part of a USD 18.3 bn buyout led by Blackstone and TPG. And in<\/strong> debt news<\/strong>, Property Finder is getting a USD 250 mn loan from US-based Ares Management. <\/p>\n

ALSO- Foreign investors are still loving GCC stocks <\/strong>\u2014 with UAE equities topping the list in the region in terms of YTD inflows. <\/p>\n

AND-<\/strong> There\u2019s good news for both hotel investors<\/strong> and SMEs<\/strong> in the National SME Program, who are both seeing significant fee reductions. We have everything you need to know about this \u2014 and more \u2014 in the news well, below. <\/p>\n

WEATHER- Dubai<\/strong> will see a high of 37\u00b0C and an overnight low of 27\u00b0C today, while Abu Dh<\/strong>abi<\/strong> will see a high of 36\u00b0C and a low of 25\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app. <\/strong><\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- International Holding Company\u2019s (IHC) board signed off on <\/strong>Multiply Group\u2019s<\/a><\/strong>proposed<\/a><\/strong>share-swap acquisition<\/a><\/strong> of its subsidiaries <\/strong>Ghitha<\/strong> Holding and 2PointZero Holding<\/strong>, it said in a filing (pdf)<\/a> to the ADX. The transaction, which is still pending shareholder and regulatory approval, will consolidate all three IHC subsidiaries under Multiply, creating one of the emirate\u2019s most diversified listed investment groups. <\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> The combined entity would have around AED 120 bn in assets across 85 countries, spanning energy, food, logistics, packaging, mining, apparel, media, mobility and beauty, with the aim of serving 1 bn people globally. <\/p>\n

What we know: <\/strong>Multiply will issue 1.8 bn shares to IHC in exchange for its shares in Ghitha, and another 12.7 bn shares for 2PointZero, the statement reads. Multiply had previously said that the transaction will see Multiply Group issue approximately 23.36 bn new shares to acquire 2PointZero and Ghitha Holding, increasing its share capital from AED 2.8 bn to AED 8.64 bn, with the merged entity comprising 34.56 bn shares. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? Shareholders will vote on the transaction on Wednesday, 12 November<\/strong>, when IHC holds its general assembly to approve the merger and a related amendment granting the board broader powers to execute financing and credit arrangements without prior shareholder consent. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- New incentives for hotels in new Dubai areas: <\/strong>New hotels, resorts, and hotel apartments in Dubai South, Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai Parks, and Dubai Islands will be eligible for a reimbursement of a 7% municipal fee and tourism AED fees for its first two years of operations, under a new incentive package by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, according to a statement<\/a>. The tourism AED fee ranges between AED 7 and 20 per room, per night, depending on the hotel\u2019s star rating. It will only apply to hotels registered as of the introduction of the initiative. <\/p>\n

The move aims to encourage investments in emerging areas in the emirate<\/strong>, as Dubai continues to build out residential offerings and infrastructure to meet rising demand. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- <\/strong>The D<\/strong>ubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX) is moving ahead with plans for an <\/strong>AED-denominated physically deliverable gold contract<\/strong>, as part of a wider strategy to deepen AED liquidity and strengthen the UAE\u2019s role in global precious-metals trade, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, CEO and chairman of the Dubai Multi Commodities Center (DMCC), which oversees DGCX, said in a column for Khaleej Times.<\/a> The proposal, which is currency pending approval from the Central Bank of the UAE and the Securities and Commodities Authority, will offer spot and monthly futures extending up to 12 months.<\/p>\n

Expect round the clock trading: <\/strong>DGCX and its clearing arm plan to extend trading time to 24 hours to overlap with major global markets, from Hong Kong to New York, while introducing same-day settlement for physical trades. Contracts will continue to clear through DMCC-approved vaults as part of efforts to improve efficiency and global market access.<\/p>\n

The move comes as DMCC positions itself for a new era of trade<\/strong>, backed by federal-level regulatory endorsement, rising global gold demand, and AI-driven clearing systems, Bin Sulayem said separately<\/a>. DGCX is eyeing a daily benchmark gold price compliant with IOSCO principles, giving regional traders a transparent reference similar to London and Shanghai.<\/p>\n

\n

#4- Sukuk reform not enough to secure higher Fitch ratings for sukuk: <\/strong>The UAE\u2019s new sale of rights rule (pdf)<\/a> to strengthen investor protection in sukuk defaults is not enough to prompt higher ratings for unsecured sukuk from Fitch Ratings, Fitch\u2019s global head of Islamic finance, Bashar Al Natoor, is quoted as saying by Bloomberg<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Refresher: <\/strong>The Higher Shariah Authority introduced the measure in May, allowing trustees to take ownership of underlying assets if issuers default, which is aimed at giving investors firmer recovery rights.<\/p>\n

Yes, but: <\/strong>The new framework still lacks the regulatory clarity needed to justify higher ratings, though Fitch may revisit its stance if future rulings clarify enforcement, Al Natoor said.<\/p>\n

Still a hit at home:<\/strong>. According to Bloomberg, the move has since gained popularity across the region with issuers in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman also adding clauses that authorize trustees to register asset titles upon default.<\/p>\n

DATA POINTS- <\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>Dubai <\/strong>climbs global city rankings amid AI-<\/strong>led<\/strong> urban shift: <\/strong>Dubai soared 19 places to rank 25th in the Global Cities Outlook category in consulting firm Kearney\u2019s 2025 Global Cities Report<\/a>. The category measures how forward-looking a city is, taking into account innovation, economics, well-being, and governance when determining future prospects. The emirate ranked 23rd in the overall Global Cities Index.<\/p>\n

Behind the rise: <\/strong>Dubai\u2019s proactive immigration policies, which seek to attract talent in emerging sectors like AI and blockchain, combined with a favorable tax environment and high quality of life, have helped to draw in global professionals. Schemes like the long-term golden visa program are helping to snap up specialists seeking alternatives as US immigration policy tightens.<\/p>\n

\n

#2- <\/strong>Fewer <\/strong>UAE employees are negotiating pay<\/strong> raises: <\/strong>Some 43% of employees in the UAE negotiated salary increases in the past year, down from 49% a year earlier, according to Michael Page\u2019s UAE 2026 Salary Guide<\/a>. A larger talent pool and increased competition have enabled employers to benchmark the salaries they offer.<\/p>\n

59% of UAE employees cite salary as the most important decision factor for jobs<\/strong>, despite the slowdown in salary negotiations, and 80% rank it among their top five priorities. Still, 52% are satisfied with their current pay, though two-thirds remain open to changing jobs in 2026 as they start to prioritize their work-life balance and career path, Michael Page's Middle East Managing Director Jon Ede told Khaleej Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

#3- F&B firms in Abu Dhabi up 42.2% in 1H: <\/strong>The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) saw memberships from firms in the food and beverage sector rise 42.2% y-o-y in 1H 2025, according to a press release<\/a>. Active memberships stood at 24.6k at the end of 3Q, and SMEs currently account for 98% of food and beverage firms registered with ADCCI.<\/p>\n

Spot gold fell 6% to USD 4.1k, after the precious metal climbed 28% YTD, with analysts now questioning whether this could mark the end of the metal\u2019s brilliant run and the start of a correction cycle. (Financial Times<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>) <\/p>\n

#2- OpenAI launched its own competitor to Google\u2019s search engine, Atlas<\/strong>, built around ChatGPT, sending shares of Google\u2019s parent Alphabet down 1.8% yesterday and intensifying competition between the two tech giants.
