Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) rose 5.5%, or 578 points (pts), to 11,056 pts at the end of the first nine months of 2023, compared to 10,478 pts at the end of 2022.
 

The benchmark index gained 3.5%, or 403 pts, in Q3 2023, amid uncertainty in global markets.

 

Meanwhile, it added 1.1%, or 112 pts, in Q1 2023, and continued its rise by 8.2%, or 869 pts in Q2.

 

Major Events in Q3

 

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates at July levels, in the range of 5.25% and 5.50%.
 

Oil prices rose remarkably, with Brent crude exceeding $96 a barrel, an increase of nearly 30% compared to the end of the second quarter.
 

The Kingdom decided to extend its voluntary oil reduction of 500,000 barrels per day until the end of December 2024, in coordination with some OPEC+members.
 

The Ministry of Finance announced Q2 2023 budget, with SAR 314.82 billion revenues and SAR 320.09 expenditures, which means a deficit of around SAR  5.27 billion.
