Gulf stock markets add listings, but foreign investors still skeptical

“Investing in DEWA is an investment in Dubai's future,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum said. The ruler of Dubai described state-owned utility Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) as a “key pillar” of the Gulf’s financial and business hub development.
The company provides water and electricity services to the emirate’s 3.4 million people.
