Residents of Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including expats, can now invest directly in Saudi Arabia's main stock market
Saudi Arabia has just made it easier for people living in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including expats, to invest directly in its main stock market, the Saudi Exchange. Previously, these investors had to use complex swap agreements or go through middlemen, but now, thanks to a big rule change by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), they can dive right in. This applies to anyone currently living in Saudi Arabia or other GCC countries, as well as those who used to live there. The CMA's boss, Mohammed El-Kuwaiz, shared the news on X, explaining that this move is all about opening up Saudi Arabia's markets to attract more long-term cash from the region. It's a key part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030, which aims to grow the economy beyond just oil. 'This makes our market more open globally,' El-Kuwaiz said, 'and builds stronger investment ties with a wider range of people in a more flexible and appealing setup.' The CMA also rolled out other changes to make the market more attractive and secure. For example, investment funds can now be offered through digital platforms and fintech companies overseen by the Saudi Central Bank. They've also added stricter rules, like requiring CMA approval when fund managers change and setting a 60-day transition period to protect investors. These steps are meant to bring in more money, make the market clearer and fairer, and cement Saudi Arabia's spot as a major financial player in the region. It builds on earlier moves, like letting big foreign investors in back in 2015 and getting Saudi Arabia included in global stock indices like MSCI and FTSE.
