Here's a look as TASI's growth in the past 10 years

11/03/2019 Argaam Special

Saudi Arabia’s benchmark Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) last closed at 8,466 points on March 10.

 

Argaam has compiled data showing that the index has rallied 105 percent since hitting a 10-year trough at 4,130 points on March 9, 2009.

 

Since March 2009, the index dipped to an all-time low hit by the global financial crisis that emerged in mid-2008.

 

TASI started to rebound in the second half of 2017 and the start of 2018, touching 12,000 points. At the time, the index was bolstered by improved petrochemical prices.
