The Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on October 3, citing an ASE statement, that the election took place during the federation's 2026 annual conference in Abu Dhabi. ASE Chief Executive Mazen Wathaifi said members' decision reflected their recognition of Jordan's and the exchange's role in the federation over previous years and its participation in committees and activities.

The announcement therefore confirms that ASE retained its seat without specifying additional terms of appointment.","The conference also re-elected the Egyptian Exchange, the Iraq Stock Exchange, Saudi Exchange Tadawul, the Bahrain Bourse and the Tunis Stock Exchange, as well as clearing organizations in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Petra says the AFCM brings together 18 Arab stock exchanges, seven clearing companies and other financial institutions, including brokerages, asset managers, research centers, listed companies and investment funds. ASE operates as Jordan's regulated market for securities trading; the exchange's institutional profile says it was established in March 1999. A place on the federation board gives the exchange a continuing role in a regional professional forum. It does not, by itself, establish a new trading rule, joint market product or investment flow between the participating countries.","At the same conference, ASE received the AFCM's annual award for 2025 as the best-performing Arab exchange in terms of price-index growth. That recognition relates to index movement during the previous year; it is not a measure of the exchange's 2026 performance and is separate from the board election. ASE's statement linked the re-election to work updating Jordan's capital-market legal, technical and infrastructure frameworks under a strategic plan. The report did not identify a particular rule change or quantify how the renewed membership might affect the market. For investors, the news shows that Jordan's exchange will continue participating in regional cooperation and professional discussions. It offers no conclusion about listed-company valuations, liquidity or future returns. Any assessment of those outcomes would require market data and concrete policy or operational changes beyond the election announcement."],"key_points":[],"sections":[]},"text":"Jordan's exchange retained a seat on the federation's governing board at its annual conference in Abu Dhabi; a separate award recognized 2025 performance.\n\nThe Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) has been re-elected to the board of the Arab Federation of Capital Markets (AFCM), the federation's highest governing body.
