Abu Dhabi’s The National Investor (TNI) named Arig No. 1 among all companies listed in the GCC based on its BASIC score methodology, which rates trading behavior, liquidity, transparency and corporate communications. Its report states that “ARIG comes through as a proactive and transparent firm. It has one of the best annual reports we have come across in the region, which makes it a natural, regional disclosure champion.”
