ABU DHABI, 18th October, 2022 (WAM) - The UAE Stock markets closed higher on Tuesday, led by gains in heavyweight real estate and banking sectors.

In Abu Dhabi, the FADX 15 , the first co-developed index under ADX's strategic partnership with FTSE Russell, advanced 3.511 % bolstered by the International Holding Co PJSC (ASMAK) surging to AED388.800 following the Abu Dhabi government's decision to transfer the ownership of Etihad Aviation Group - the parent of Etihad Airways - to the holding company.
