Dubai plans to list district cooling firm Empower in IPO push – ArabianBusiness.com

Dubai plans to list Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corp., a venture between a unit of Dubai Holding and a state-owned utility, on its stock market as part of plans to deepen its capital market.

The media office cited directives from Dubai’s ruler and deputy ruler for the listing of the company, also known as Empower. It didn’t provide further information.

It’s the second announcement in less than a week on initial public offering from Dubai as it seeks to revive trading volumes on its stock market and catch up with rival exchanges in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh. Last week, Dubai said it plans to list Tecom Group, which houses business complexes such as Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Design District and Dubai Industrial Park.
