ATFX has been named Best Global Forex Broker at Forex Expo Dubai 2026, where the broker participated as an Elite Sponsor on 22-23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the company announced on Wednesday. The two-day expo drew more than 23,000 attendees, 270 exhibitors and 150 speakers, cementing Dubai's status as the MENA region's FX hub, Finance Magnates and ATFX reported.
ATFX MENA's head of research Mohammad Shanti also took the speaker stage with "Designing Currency Pairs and FX Portfolios for 2026 Macro Regimes," covering macro-regime analysis, pair selection on macro drivers and correlation, and adaptive portfolio construction. "Being recognised as Best Global Forex Broker is an important achievement for ATFX," said Khaldoun Sharaiha, CEO of ATFX MENA, crediting the firm's regional teams and trading-community engagement.
ATFX's 10-licence footprint across four continents
The broker holds 10 regulatory licences spanning the UK's FCA, Australia's ASIC, Cyprus' CySEC, the UAE's SCA, Hong Kong's SFC, South Africa's FSCA, Mauritius' FSC, Seychelles' FSA, Cambodia's SERC and Colombia's SFC, with local presence in 24 locations, the announcement noted. In a week when regulators from Pretoria to Sydney have been stripping licences and suing advisers, the industry's other end - the compliance-heavy global broker - is collecting trophies in Dubai.
