Abu Dhabi Investment Office to Open Tel Aviv Office

The state-run Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) is to open its first office outside the United Arab Emirates in Tel Aviv, the Abu Dhabi Media Office said on Wednesday, following normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel.

Israel on Tuesday signed normalization agreements at the White House in Washington with both the UAE and Bahrain.

“Tel Aviv is the first in a planned network of international offices that will support companies looking to expand their operations in Abu Dhabi, and to connect innovators from around the world to solve global challenges,” the statement on Twitter said.

ADIO and Invest in Israel, part of the economy ministry, agreed two weeks ago on bilateral investment cooperation.

Turkish authorities have issued detention orders for eight suspects accused of manipulating stock prices on the Borsa Istanbul and causing financial losses to small investors, state-owned Anadolu news agency reported on Monday.

It said that the prosecutor's investigation found unusual price and volume volatility in shares traded on the stock exchange, specifically in one stock.

The suspects are being investigated on charges of establishing a criminal organization and market fraud, Anadolu said, with police seeking the suspects in four Turkish cities.

The case comes amid heightened scrutiny of financial crimes in Türkiye, where regulators have pledged to protect market stability and investors.
