Why it matters
The move aims to enhance the efficiency of secondary trading in the Saudi market. The electronic integration is expected to improve price discovery and make existing liquidity easier to find within the market structure.
The Saudi stock market is already under the oversight of the Capital Market Authority, with Morgan Stanley providing financial estimates and increased ownership boosting index weighting.
