Dubai Financial Market Releases Real Time Info of Listed Companies’ Foreign Ownership Limits (FOL)

The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) launched the enhanced Foreign Ownership limits (FOL) webpage, providing market participants with real time FOL info every two minutes during the trading session about the “Actual” and a new column for “Available” ownership limits to own or to trade.

• Ownership percentages for the columns of Actual and Available are updated every two minutes during trading hours. The ownership percentages are also updated every one-hour after trading hours on each business day to reflect changes not associated with trading (if any).
• New column added showing the “Available” ownership percentage to own or allowed to trade apart from the Actual ownership percentage.
• Reclassification of investors’ categories to three nationality types: ‘Nationals’, ‘GCC’ and ‘Foreign’; as such the ‘Arab’ category is now included within the ‘Foreign’
• Search by company and date for historical information.
