About Saudi Exchange (Tadawul).

Founded in 2007 (joint stock company; trading from 1985), it operates under the oversight of Capital Market Authority (CMA), and its leading benchmarks are TASI (Tadawul All Share Index), MT30. Listing standards are set out in the Listing Rules of the Saudi Exchange; CMA Rules on the Offer of Securities and Continuing Obligations.
The largest equity venue in the Middle East and one of the largest emerging-market venues globally. Foreign ownership opened progressively from 2015; the Saudi Aramco listing remains the largest IPO in history. Sharia compliance considerations are central to position-level structuring.
