What happened
DIP Holding opened subscriptions for a 20% stake sale on the Dubai Financial Market priced between Dh1.10 and Dh1.15 per share, aiming to raise up to Dh2 billion.
The Context
- Breaking the equity lull: Middle East and Africa equity issuances dropped 79% year-over-year in the first nine months of 2026, positioning this offering as the nation's first public listing of the year.

- Retail access terms: UAE residents with a National Investor Number can participate with a Dh5,000 minimum subscription, securing a guaranteed minimum allocation of 2,000 shares alongside institutional books that covered within minutes.
The Number
