28 August 2025

Astana International Exchange (“AIX”, “Exchange”) is pleased to announce that AIX and Amman Stock Exchange (“ASE”) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their relationship and set up a mechanism for cooperation and communication.

The parties agreed to exchange information about capital markets, covering market infrastructure, listing and trading procedures, as well as regulatory frameworks, with the aim of identifying areas for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Assel, Mukazhanova, AIX CEO, noted:

Collaboration with capital markets across the MENA Region fits well with AIFC and AIX development strategy. We already operate live cross-exchange trading with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange via Tabadul Digital Hub, and have established a direct CSD link with Nasdaq Dubai. Trading with Muscat Stock Exchange is also set to be launched shortly. Collectively, these projects and initiatives with our MENA peers create new investment opportunities for investors and issuers on all sides.

Mazen Wathaifi, Amman Stock Exchange CEO, added:

This MOU marks an important milestone in strengthening the ties between the Amman Stock Exchange and the Astana International Exchange. By sharing expertise, fostering innovation, and creating new opportunities for cross-border investment, we are paving the way for deeper integration of our markets. This collaboration will strengthen the efficiency and competitiveness of our exchanges while also supporting the development and resilience of regional capital markets as a whole.
