Adnoc Gas selected for inclusion in FTSE EM index Sept. 22

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. PJSC (ADNOC) has announced that ADNOC Gas PLC (ADNOC Gas) has been selected for inclusion in the FTSE Emerging Markets (EM) Index. This significant development, effective September 22, 2025, is expected to unlock over AED 250 million in investment funds [1].

ADNOC Gas, a United Arab Emirates-based integrated gas processing company, is engaged in operations, maintenance, and marketing of downstream gas processing, liquified natural gas (LNG), and industrial gases businesses. The company processes and produces LNG, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), paraffinic naphtha, and sulfur for export and supplies various specialized gas products to industrial and commercial customers across the UAE [1].

The inclusion in the FTSE EM Index is anticipated to enhance international and domestic investor awareness of ADNOC Gas, potentially leading to increased investment and liquidity. This follows a similar trend observed in other ADNOC subsidiaries, such as ADNOC Logistics & Services PLC (ADNOC L&S), which saw a significant increase in trading volume, foreign ownership, and analyst coverage after being included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index [2].

ADNOC L&S, which is the state-owned oil and gas company's integrated energy maritime logistics and shipping business, recently completed a share placement to institutional investors, raising approximately AED 1.16 billion ($315.86 million). This issuance, which constituted around three percent of ADNOC L&S’ issued share capital, is expected to pave the way for potential MSCI indexation and increase investor awareness of ADNOC L&S' differentiated proposition as a leader in global energy maritime logistics [2].

The inclusion of ADNOC Gas in the FTSE EM Index is part of a broader strategy by ADNOC to enhance its global presence and attract more investment. The company's robust performance in the natural gas processing and sales sector, coupled with its significant market presence, positions it well for this development.
