e& is World’s Fastest Growing Brand in the latest Global 500 Brand Report

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — e&, a global technology company, has achieved exceptional brand value growth this year and is ranked by Brand Finance as the “World’s Fastest Growing Brand” in their Global 500 Brand 2025 report released earlier today during World Economic Forum at Davos. This recognition reflects a remarkable eight-fold increase in brand value versus last year, reaching an all-time high brand value of USD15.3 billion for e& as a standalone brand.

This success is the culmination of a three-year transformation journey, during which e& consolidated its historic “Etisalat” brand under a unified identity.

The significant increase of e&’s brand portfolio and investment value in the 2025 report was driven by growth in investments and portfolio exceeding USD 20 billion, including but not limited to PTCL (Pakistan), Mobily (Saudi Arabia), and the acquisition of a controlling stake (50 per cent plus one economic share) in the service and infrastructure companies of PPF Telecom Group. Furthermore, this growth was strengthened by the integration of the historic Etisalat brand and an organic year-on-year growth for e& of 13 per cent on a consolidated basis. e& also received a Brand Strength Index (BSI) rating of AAA, with a score of 84.6 out of 100.

In addition, e&’s high-profile partnerships, including a 15-year collaboration with Manchester City Football Club and its role as a founding partner of the Formula 1® Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, have brought the brand to global audiences, enhancing its visibility and strengthening its position as a leader in innovation and technology.

The brand’s call to ‘Go for More’

The e& brand, introduced as part of the group’s strategic transformation, reflects a forward-looking vision that transcends traditional telecommunications. Though relatively young, it has quickly established itself as a technology powerhouse, housing five distinct business verticals that drive its growth and innovation. Last year’s Brand Finance Global 500 report ranked both the e& and ‘etisalat by e&’ brands, with the latter now fully absorbed into e&, significantly enhancing its position and overall brand portfolio value in the rankings, which soared 700 per cent year-on-year.

Since unveiling its new brand identity in 2022, e& has quickly redefined what it means to deliver value to customers worldwide. Through its inspiring “Go for More” brand positioning, the global technology group highlights a dynamic portfolio that spans connectivity, digital services, entertainment, fintech, and enterprise solutions. Brands like e& UAE, Mobily KSA, and e& PPF Telecom provide cutting-edge connectivity, while platforms such as STARZPLAY, Charge&Go, and e& money simplify and enrich everyday life.

With a focus on empowering individuals, businesses, and communities across 38 countries, e& has built a powerful ecosystem designed to inspire growth, enable innovation, and create opportunities for a brighter, more connected future.

A brand of global significance

e& is also ranked among the Top 10 Most Valuable Telecom Brands globally according to the Global 500 Brand 2025 report. The company has consistently received recognition in its home market, including from Kantar BrandZ, which named it the most valuable brand in the UAE in November 2024.

The Global 500 2025 report again recognised Hatem Dowidar as the “Telecom Guardian of the Year” for the third consecutive year. In the 2025 rankings, he achieved an overall position of 39th and secured the number one spot in the telecom sector.

Greater Insurability of Climate Risk is Key to Global Economic Resilience: Aon Catastrophe Report

  • Annual report reveals 60 percent of economic damage caused by catastrophes in 2024 was uninsured
  • Insured losses reached $145 billion globally – the sixth costliest year on record

DUBLIN, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today published its 2025 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report, which identifies global natural disaster and climate trends to quantify the risk and human impact of extreme weather events in 2024.

The report reveals global natural disaster events caused $368 billion (2023: $397 billion) in economic losses in 2024, driven by hurricanes and severe convective storms (SCS) in the U.S. This is 14 percent above the 21st-century average and the ninth consecutive year of losses exceeding $300 billion.

Greg Case, CEO of Aon, said: “The devastating events of 2024 underscore the significant economic toll of climate risk. Evidenced by the data in our report – and the tragic destruction in California at the beginning of 2025 – extreme weather remains a powerful force driving the complexity and volatility that businesses and communities face and emphasizes the urgent need for innovative solutions to address this growing challenge.”

The Climate and Catastrophe Insight report points to several trends with natural catastrophe losses:

Weather-related events are becoming more frequent and costly. Global insurance losses in 2024 were 54 percent above the 21st-century average, covering $145 billion of the $368 billion in damages (2023: $126 billion). Even as insured losses far exceeded the average, the protection gap stood at 60 percent (2023: 68 percent), representing a significant financial headwind to communities, businesses and governments. Increases in population, wealth and overall exposure to natural hazards in high-risk areas continues to be a crucial component of growing disaster losses.

Hurricane Helene was the costliest global event in 2024. The hurricane made landfall in the U.S. in September and caused $75 billion of damages and 243 fatalities. Hurricane Milton in October was the costliest single global insured loss event, causing $20 billion in losses. These are major contributors to the fact that 78 percent of global insured losses were recorded in the U.S.

The steady growth of SCS losses reflects increasing population, exposure and wealth. There were at least 54 global events that each resulted in economic losses above $1 billion in 2024, which is above the average of 44. The increase in the number of billion-dollar events is largely driven by SCS in the U.S. Growing exposure to this peril increases the likelihood of billion-dollar disasters occurring, particularly as the U.S. continues to experience spatial growth of cities in areas regularly affected by SCS activity, such as Dallas, Houston or Denver.

In terms of climate, 2024 was the warmest year on record. Twenty countries and territories recorded their highest temperatures during a year which saw the end of 15 consecutive months of record global high temperatures in August.

Case added: “When it comes to climate risk, the stakes could not be higher. The $223 billion in uninsured losses in 2024 challenges the ability to rebuild, recover and create more resilience across the globe. Part of the solution requires investments in technology and analytics to model and price the risks and attract deeper capital pools that can see a potential return on investment to take on these risks. Capital will not go where it is not protected – and the events from 2024 should stimulate innovation across our industry to strengthen the global economy.”

Aon’s report also shows that with greater resilience and mitigation measures in place, global economies can reduce damage and loss of life. In 2024, 18,100 people lost their lives due to natural hazards, mostly from heatwaves and flooding globally. This was below the 21st-century average of 72,400 and could be attributed to improved warning systems, weather forecasts and evacuation planning, underscoring the value of reliable climate data, insights and analytics.

Andy Marcell, CEO of Risk Capital for Aon, said: “The insurance industry – and broader financial community – has the opportunity to bring new sources of capital to protect vulnerable communities and create greater economic resilience. The collaboration between various stakeholders will be crucial in developing public-private partnerships and innovative insurance products that offer a sustainable way of closing the protection gap.”

The report reveals that Spain, Brazil, U.A.E. and Vietnam all recorded their costliest insurance events in 2024. The top 10 global economic loss events were as follows:

Market Insights: A Vision for Vietnam’s Crypto Future

BingX’s commitment to providing valuable market insights was exemplified by its collaboration with Coin68 and Kyros Ventures to produce the Vietnam Crypto Market Report 2024.

It revealed that 93.5% of respondents are optimistic about the upcoming altcoin season in 2025, positioning BingX as an integral player in shaping the future of Vietnam’s crypto market.

Empowering the New Wave of Crypto Users

BingX’s commitment to education continued with its sponsorship of The Token Show, a popular podcast dedicated to educating new crypto users.

Social Responsibility: Making a Difference Beyond Trading

BingX’s dedication to corporate social responsibility was demonstrated through its efforts in Vietnam’s recovery after Typhoon Yagi. The exchange donated 1 billion VND to support the rebuilding of communities in northern Vietnam. Additionally, BingX sponsored the “Bến Tre Charity” event, which focused on building infrastructure and hosting a Mid-Autumn Festival for children in Giồng Trôm District, Bến Tre Province.
