IDX, a global leader in corporate and investor relations websites, has announced a collaboration with Muscat Stock Exchange to benchmark the digital investor communications of companies listed on MSX against global best practice. The initiative arrives at a moment when investment decisions, increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and digital channels, demand that companies present their equity stories with clarity and precision across every digital touchpoint.
The assessment examines how clearly each company presents its equity story, the completeness and accessibility of its investor relations content, website structure and user experience, and readiness for search and AI driven research platforms. The assessment is based solely on publicly available website content, with findings for each company shared only with the company concerned. This methodical approach ensures that benchmarking becomes a tool for improvement rather than comparison.
James Taylor, Head of Middle East at IDX, observed that investors now form a view of a company long before opening a presentation, and AI platforms are increasingly where that view takes shape, adding that IDX aims to help MSX listed companies make sure their story is found, read and trusted.
IDX currently manages almost 4,000 corporate and investor relations websites globally, supporting listed companies across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The firm’s expansion into Oman reflects the growing importance of digital investor communications as securities exchanges worldwide seek to enhance their market’s accessibility and appeal to international capital.
