Dubai Financial Market Completes Periodic Review of General and Islamic Indexes

The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) today successfully conducted the periodic review of the general index and Islamic index as of September 23, 2024. The DFM conducts these reviews frequently to maintain the efficiency and up-to-date information of its indices which are widely used of market performance.
