Saudi Arabia Deepens Investment Reforms Beyond Oil Economy

Saudi Arabia will open its financial markets to all foreign investors starting February 1st, marking a major shift in investment rules. The capital markets authority has eliminated the ‘qualified foreign investor’ framework, which previously limited access to select institutions. Under the new system, investors from around the world can directly invest in Saudi capital markets, a move designed to boost inflows and improve liquidity.
