ADX briefly shuts trading halls as precaution against virus spread
Trading operations will not be affected by closure of trading halls
Dubai: Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) said it is temporarily closing its trading hall in its main offices in Abu Dhabi as well as those in the other Emirates until further notice.
This was taken by ADX as a precautionary measure to protect public health in the United Arab Emirates and ensure the health and safety of visitors, the bourse said.
ADX said in a statement that this decision is in line with the instructions of the World Health Organization (WHO) to restrict public gatherings and has been taken as a preventative measure to mitigate against the current global viral outbreak.
“Trading operations will not be affected by the closure of the trading halls as ADX offers various channels traditional as well as digital from which investors can trade,” said Khalifa Al Mansouri, Chief Executive of ADX.
Dubai Financial Market spokesperson said it is business as usual at its trading halls as of today.
