Saudi Arabia's Capital Market Authority (CMA) stated that it received nearly 116 capital increase requests worth more than SAR 100 billion from Tadawul-listed companies from January 2018 to H1 2022.

 

In a statement, the market regulator added that this reflects its role of providing financing to the listed companies, as well as the economy in general.

He added that the capitalization requests accounted for 60.3% of the total, followed by rights issue with 37.1%, and debt conversion with 2.6%.
