Abu Dhabi’s bourse gained 0.39%. This comes after news that Arabtec will start a $40 billion project in Egypt, and a statement from Emaar Properties that shares of its malls unit IPO will debut at the top of its proposed range. Emaar Properties also said it will return the surplus funds from orders to its IPO, which would be enough to get stocks in the UAE higher again, considering the massive over-subscription for the highly anticipated IPO. Qatar stock market declined as Qatar National Bank and Industries Qatar fell 0.4% and 1.1% respectively.
