ADX said the move gives Morgan Stanley clients direct access to Abu Dhabi's market via the bank's global trading platform, with trading expected to start in coming weeks.
The exchange said the membership should improve execution quality, order routing and trade lifecycle control, while supporting rising international institutional demand for UAE equities and other listed securities.
ADX said foreign investor trading value topped 85 billion dirhams in the first quarter, up 22% year on year, after foreign investment rose nearly 14% in 2025.
