Saudi Tadawul Group, will support the continued growth of the Saudi capital
market and reinforce its position as a global market leader and advanced
capital market."
"This is a significant achievement in our journey to transform Saudi Arabia's
economy. Comprehensive capital market reforms are not only prudent, but
essential to ensuring higher economic growth, and achieving the nation-wide
goal of the successful delivery of Saudi's Vision 2030 and aligned with the
strategy of the Public Investment Fund (PIF)." Al-Suhaimi added.
Eng. Khalid Al-Hussan, CEO of Saudi Tadawul Group, commented: "The new
structure will enable us to deliver high-quality services across all our
business lines, increase our competitiveness, and align our capital market with
the rapid growth of Emerging Markets. I'm confident that the Saudi Tadawul
Group and its subsidiary companies will shape what comes next in terms of
capital market development in Saudi Arabia, serving as the bridge connecting
global investors and regional economies. The transformation provides a strong
platform for the Saudi Tadawul Group's IPO ".

development program. The development program is focused on enhancing the
capital market, attracting foreign investments and diversifying the economy,
while supporting issuers and investors to achieve their ambitions, and
