Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company ADQ has entered into an agreement to monetise an 8.6 percent stake in Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) to Multiply Group, Abu Dhabi Pension Fund and other prominent investors, WAM, the UAE state news agency, reported.

ADQ CEO Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi said the transaction will facilitate increased free float in TAQA and Abu Dhabi’s capital markets.
