What is a Public Joint Stock Company
Joint stock companies began in 17th-century Europe when investors joined their money together to reduce financial risk. Over time, this idea grew into today’s Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) model. In the UAE, a PJSC is a company whose capital is divided into shares that can be bought and sold by the public.
A PJSC offers its shares on stock exchanges such as the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) or Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). These companies are closely regulated by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) to ensure transparency, fair trading, and strong corporate governance.
PJSCs are different from Private Joint Stock Companies. Private JSCs do not allow public share offerings and limit how shares can be transferred. In contrast, a PJSC must offer at least 55% of its shares to the public, can have an unlimited number of shareholders, and must be listed on an approved stock exchange.
