This month, the Bank of London & The Middle East announced an intent to list its shares on the Nasdaq Dubai in October, the bourse's first listing in almost five years. The news was then followed by two IPO revelations this week - Just Falafel is considering a 25 per cent listing of the food chain's shares on the Nasdaq Dubai and Damac Properties is eyeing a London share sale. The renewed confidence among UAE companies illustrates a marked change in attitude towards raising capital from equity markets. "More investors are turning to investment banks to take their companies public," said Mohammed Ali Yasin, the managing director at National Bank of Abu Dhabi's brokerage arm. "Valuations have become much more interesting and give room for founders to realise good value from selling their companies." UAE shares traded at 10 times earnings about a year ago. For a company to go public, they would have to be valued at five to seven times earnings, "which is not exciting or interesting for founders of those companies", said Mr Yasin. Today, the ratio is 12 to 13 times earnings. "That means IPOs can come to the market with 10 times earnings. It gives the founders incentive to spin off their shares." Equity markets have rallied over the past year, as the nation's laggard stocks have come to better reflect the UAE's strong economic fundamentals. The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange General Index has gained about 45 per cent this year. The Dubai Financial Market General Index has risen almost 65 per cent. There have been few new listings from UAE companies in recent years as low valuations and thin trading volumes deterred companies from going public. "Since the 2008 global financial crisis, t

There's a lot of hate towards the games of the week... In case you don't know, I hate the Assassin's Creed series. Ever since the original entry was released and slapped me in the face with its lies, I've left the franchise behind, telling anyone who would listen it wasn't for me. After plenty of 'oh, but it's changed now' from people in the know, though, I decided to dip my toe in for only the second time. Unsurprisingly, I still think it's rubbish. Aside from how long everything takes to get going, the entire thing just feels like a horrible slog. Drowning in fetch quests, 'follow this dude' missions, and 'don't let that guy die, otherwise we'll stop the game' follies, I just got the overwhelming sensation that nothing had changed since 2007. Before you all find where I live and lynch me, I do understand why Desmond and all his friends have become so popular. Ubisoft's tech behind Assassin's Creed is very impressive, and there's an incredible amount of game here all things considered. I just don't like the way it plays, especially the nonsensical climbing that's the equivalent of fighting with a controller. Combat sucks, too. And any game that forces me to visit what seems like its developer's offices at random intersections is always going to rub me up the wrong way in some fashion.
