Sarah Al-Suhaimi, Chairperson of Saudi Tadawul Holding Group

The Saudi Tadawul Holding Group (Tadawul Group) is making significant progress in its diversification strategy, Chairperson Sarah Al-Suhaimi said.

Speaking at the Capital Markets Forum (CMF) 2025, she stated that the fixed-income sector is anticipated to gain momentum in 2025, particularly in sustainable finance, driven by over 45,000 investors in the market.

The Saudi market consistently ranks among the world's top 10 markets by market value and is ranked first in listing growth.

She highlighted the group and its subsidiaries' exceptional performance in 2024, citing over 50 new listings across the Main Market (TASI) and Nomu-Parallel Market. Additionally, there was an increase in the participation of foreign investors, as qualified foreign investors (QFIs) reached approximately 4,200.

Tadawul Group is focused on strategically developing and diversifying its offerings, creating an integrated market, and ensuring a capable and responsive infrastructure, the Chairperson said.

Al-Suhaimi confirmed the group's commitment to strengthening its presence in data, innovation, and commodity markets through the acquisition of Direct FN and a stake in Gulf Mercantile Group.

These moves align with the company’s diversification strategy, expanding opportunities, and solidifying the group's position across diverse sectors, she stated.
