Saudi Arabia's announcement to allow foreign investors to own majority stakes in local listed companies weighed heavily on the Saudi stock market today, with trading jumping significantly and the main market index rising by 5%.<\/p>\n

Ownership in listed companies<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Kingdom's move to raise the percentage of foreign ownership in listed companies is seen as an unprecedented step that will benefit the Saudi market and the investment environment in general, as it will lead to huge financial flows to the Kingdom from global funds and major investment institutions.<\/p>\n

In this report, we review a number of positives that will benefit the Saudi market if the increase in the percentage of majority ownership in local companies listed on the stock exchange is implemented.<\/p>\n

The impact of raising the foreign ownership rate\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Kingdom's move to increase the share of foreigners in listed companies will automatically attract billions of dollars of investment, especially since this approach reduces the relative weight of Saudi stocks in emerging market indices, which leads to an increase in foreign ownership as a percentage of the weight of Saudi companies in the index.<\/p>\n

Banking and other vital sectors are expected to see increased demand as foreign money enters the market.<\/p>\n

Not only will the move attract huge capital to the Saudi market, but the performance of local companies will improve due to the presence of a foreign investor, increasing the attractiveness of companies in the long run.<\/p>\n

A unified opinion of experts\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Mohammed Al-Faraj, Senior Head of Asset Management at Arbah Capital, said in press statements that the move is a message of confidence to foreign investors in the Saudi market, as well as attracting more inflows from foreign funds and capital during the coming period.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
