Upon completion of the deal, Dubai World will be wholly owned by the Ports and Free Zones.
According to the network, “CNBC”, this development is bad news for the “NASDAQ Dubai”, which was considered “DP” for it, an important attraction for investors. The market value of the company is $ 10 billion, which constitutes not a small proportion of the total stock exchange size of about $ 130 billion.
For his part, Yuvraj Narayan, Chief Financial & Strategic Affairs and Business Officer for “Dubai Ports” said in a statement: “The Board of Directors concluded that the disadvantages of keeping shares listed on the stock market outweigh the expected benefits.”

The share price of the company peaked in January of 2018 when it recorded $ 26.99, but has decreased by about 52% since then.However, its revenue reached $ 5.6 billion in 2018, up 20% from 2017 according to its latest available financial data.
