The global CFD and FX broker celebrates a year of continued success in the UAE, earning multiple industry accolades and expanding its localized trading offerings.
Scope Markets, a leading global CFD and FX brokerage, has announced another year of strong performance in the MENA region, reinforcing Dubai’s growing status as a global financial powerhouse. The company’s region-specific strategy, emphasizing localization, tailored product development, and customer-centric innovation, continues to drive its momentum.
At Forex Expo Dubai 2025, Scope Markets was awarded “Best Partnership Programme – MENA”, recognizing the company’s expanding introducing broker (IB) and affiliate network. The brokerage also achieved two major distinctions at the Middle East Financial Markets Awards 2025 — being listed among the “Top 100 Trusted Financial Institutions” and its CEO, Pavel Spirin, earning a place among the Top 50 CEOs in Financial Markets.
“Dubai is rapidly becoming the next global financial hub, but success here depends on understanding and serving local needs. That’s why we’ve focused on localized products, language support, and access to regional markets.”
— Pavel Spirin, CEO, Scope Markets
Localized Innovation Driving Growth
Spirin emphasized that localization has been central to the company’s long-term success in the region.
“Across the MENA region we have been providing local language support and access to relevant markets,” he said. “The creation of proprietary index CFDs to mirror the performance of local markets has further cemented our popularity.”
This strategy has translated into concrete partnerships and innovative products. In 2023, Scope Markets entered a partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank, strengthening its local financial ecosystem engagement. By 2024, it introduced AD15 and DXBI proprietary index CFDs, mirroring key Abu Dhabi and Dubai market indices, thereby expanding investor access to over 60 CFDs reflecting major UAE-listed stocks. These moves have enabled both local and global investors to seamlessly participate in the UAE’s evolving financial landscape.
Dubai’s Financial Sector on the Rise
The company’s growth aligns with Dubai’s expanding role in global finance. According to recent figures, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) saw a 16% year-on-year increase in wealth and asset management firms, while Dubai’s IPO market captured 2.2% of global IPO volumes in 2024. This growth reflects the emirate’s rising influence as a hub for capital markets and fintech innovation.
Engagement Through Industry Platforms
Spirin noted that the company’s global teams have been actively participating in major regional events, including the Forex Expo Dubai and the Smart Vision Middle East Financial Markets Awards, to strengthen relationships and better understand client needs.
“These occasions allow us to connect with existing and prospective customers alike,” he said. “Our goal is to continually refine our product suite to ensure relevance with the markets we serve.”
A Global Footprint with Regional Strength
Operating from a network of physical offices worldwide, Scope Markets serves clients in nearly 200 countries, offering access to more than 40,000 tradable assets across mobile and desktop platforms. The group is regulated in six jurisdictions, underscoring its credibility and customer-first approach.
