Dubai reopens stock exchange as emirate looks to get back to business

The Dubai Financial Market, the sheikhdom’s stock exchange, has reopened its trading floor after closing due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The move by Dubai comes as the city-state in the United Arab Emirates has also begun welcoming tourists again.

The market closed in mid-March over the pandemic, but online trading continued throughout the closure.

Market official Jamal al-Khadhar says that social distancing will be maintained at the exchange, and that barriers have been installed as well.
