Saudi Arabia will open its stock market to all foreign investors starting February 1, 2026, as announced by the Capital Market Authority. This strategic move aligns with the country's Vision 2030 goals and is expected to significantly boost international capital inflows, potentially increasing foreign investments by $10 billion.
The decision marks a major shift in Saudi Arabia's financial strategy, removing the Qualified Foreign Investor requirement and allowing direct access to the main market. This initiative is anticipated to enhance market liquidity and stimulate economic activity, with Saudi equities already experiencing a 3% surge following the announcement. The changes are set to unlock substantial capital for listed companies and may serve as a model for other emerging markets.
