This milestone marks another significant step in positioning the Saudi market as a leading global financial hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saudi Depositary Receipts facilitate investor access to foreign companies listed on other exchanges, with the ability to trade and settle in Saudi Riyals. In addition, SDRs offer liquidity and flexibility, facilitating the transfer of the security between the Saudi Capital Market and the foreign exchanges by enabling the conversion of the SDR into shares in the foreign exchange, which provides the opportunity to trade the company\u2019s shares in two different exchanges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On this occasion,<\/span><b> Mohammed Al-Rumaih, CEO of the Saudi Exchange, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">said: &#8220;The launch of SDRs represents a major milestone in our efforts towards fostering the Saudi Capital Market\u2019s position as a global financial hub. Through this recently introduced financial instrument, we are offering investors the opportunity to engage with global businesses and diversifying the investment landscape. We will maintain our commitment to advancing the competitiveness of the Saudi Capital Market and creating new opportunities for investors and issuers.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hanan Al Shehri, CEO of the Securities Depository Center Company (Edaa),<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> said: &#8220;By leveraging recent enhancements from our post-trade infrastructure enhancement program, including Edaa\u2019s straight-through processing and streamlined communication systems, we have established a robust framework that further supports financial instruments registration. The launch of SDRs demonstrates our dedication to supporting the dynamism of the Saudi Capital Market on a regional and global level.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The introduction of SDRs marks a significant milestone in the Saudi Exchange\u2019s mission to enhance capital market accessibility and expand investment opportunities for investors in the Saudi market. This initiative aligns with the Financial Sector Development Program (FSDP) under Saudi Vision 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SDRs launch is a milestone that marks another significant step in positioning the Saudi Capital Market as a leading global financial hub.
