While IHC continues to implement a broader portfolio optimisation and divestment strategy, it emphasised that the group has no plans to sell its Aldar stake.
Aldar Properties has been a driving force behind Abu Dhabi real estate development, leading on innovation, sustainability, and urban transformation.
As one of the region’s most influential property developers, Aldar plays a pivotal role in delivering value to shareholders and supporting the UAE’s economic diversification agenda.
Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC, said: “We remain committed to supporting Aldar as it continues to shape Abu Dhabi’s real estate landscape and drive sustainable development across the UAE.”
IHC said the decision underscores its long-term investment philosophy and strategic focus on sectors that contribute to national growth and diversification.
The company continues to follow a disciplined approach to capital allocation, prioritising value creation and sustainable expansion across its global portfolio.
