RIYADH: The Saudi Capital Markets Authority has announced that investors from all over the world will be able to invest directly in the Saudi stock market from February 1, 2026.
This move is aimed at increasing the transparency and liquidity of the market.
The board of the authority has recently approved a regulatory change under which global investors will be able to buy and sell shares in the Saudi market.
The amendment aims to broaden the base of those allowed to invest and promote investment in the market. It is expected that after this move, investment in the market will increase significantly.
By the third quarter of last year, international investors had invested up to 590 billion riyals in the Saudi stock market. According to the authority, under the new regulations, more investors will enter the market and overall investment will increase.
It should be noted that in July 2025, the Saudi Central Financial Markets Authority announced measures to facilitate investment.
Subsequently, various categories of investors, including foreigners residing in Gulf countries or previously residing in Saudi Arabia, were allowed to invest in the market, and the decision of February 1, 2026 is an important link in this chain.
