- While stock markets around the world were hitting lows earlier this month, shares in the Arab Gulf have been on the rise.
In Abu Dhabi's stock exchange, a rise of 0.2 percent has been attributed mainly to a 1.4 percent growth registered by Abu Dhabi National Energy Corporation, known as Taqa, mainly driven by its water sales.
