GFH Group chief executive Hisham Alrayes said: “GFH is delighted to celebrate another landmark achievement for the group with our listing on ADX. This is a strategic move supporting our expansion and enhancing our financial position and funding for the next phase of growth. With our listing, we continue to broaden our shareholder base and increase our reach and visibility among key global and regional investors.
