These are the strengths and weaknesses of the Saudi Stock Exchange in the eyes of foreign investors

The Saudi stock market is characterized by the power of the base of local investors and subscriptions, but it has forced a medium of profitability to rise to the highest level compared to emerging markets to exclude India, which according to Hamza Al -Kaoud, the TS Lombard, is a challenge. Al -Kaoud attracted attention during an interview with Al -Sharq to other positive factors leading to the increase in foreign portfolios investments in Saudi Arabia, such as “the condition of establishing the national number of the foreign investor and allowing investors to trade through platforms without identifying, what is very important to some investors.” But he added that there are some weaknesses that can praise foreign investors, such as their belief that the Saudi market is based solely on Aramco shares, as it is the second most expensive emerging market in terms of stock prices, which increases the fear of geopolitical risks and oil prices, especially in light of US President Donald’s Donald’s need to reduce the cost of oil.
