FP Markets Awarded Forex Broker of the Year at Dubai Expo 2026

In a monumental win for the forex trading industry, FP Markets has been named the "Forex Broker of the Year" at the Forex Expo Dubai 2026, a highlight event in the online trading sector held on September 22 and 23. This recognition comes at a pivotal time for the multi-asset forex and CFD broker, which has been building its reputation since its founding in Australia in 2005.

The Forex Expo Dubai is renowned for attracting participants from across the globe, demonstrating its significance in the world of online trading. This year’s event witnessed record participation, with over 23,000 attendees including brokers, fintech professionals, and traders from the MENA region and beyond. The event showcased leading companies in the industry, with FP Markets standing out due to its innovative offerings and commitment to client success.

One key factor that contributed to FP Markets receiving this esteemed award is its recently secured Category 5 license from the Capital Market Authority (CMA) of the United Arab Emirates. This development not only enhances the company’s regulatory portfolio but also signifies FP Markets’ ongoing commitment to expanding its presence in the UAE market. With a regulatory framework tailored to local requirements, FP Markets demonstrates its dedication to meeting the needs of traders in the region.

Additionally, Christina Koro, Head of HR and People Culture at FP Markets, was awarded the People and Culture Leadership Award during the Women in FX Excellence Awards, reflecting the company’s dedication to fostering talent and diversity.

John Lewis, the Chief Marketing Officer at FP Markets, elaborated on the company’s strategy, stating, “We adopt a localized approach. Each market has its own needs; therefore, we tailor our products, services, and regulatory frameworks to the specific region in which we operate. Our continued participation at the Forex Expo Dubai and the recent acquisition of the CMA Category 5 license underscore our commitment to the UAE and the wider region. This year’s expo also provided a valuable opportunity for us to re-establish our local market presence and reinforce our position as a broker focused on traders.”
