The global energy sector is showing increased investment appeal, with a report indicating that 85 percent of industry leaders believe the sector is more attractive for investment than it was five years ago. This optimism is supported by findings that the global energy system has proven more resilient than expected through recent disruptions.

In Abu Dhabi, major energy entities have reported significant financial growth during the first nine months of the year. NMDC Energy recorded a 9 percent year-on-year revenue increase to AED 14.2 billion, while Adnoc Drilling announced a nine-month profit of $1.07 billion, marking its highest-ever revenue. This performance in the oil and gas sector is expected to bolster the broader Abu Dhabi economy, including driving demand in the real estate market.
