Regulatory Update: CMA Opens Capital Market to All Foreign Investor Categories
The Capital Market Authority (CMA) announced the opening of the Saudi capital market to all categories of foreign investors, enabling direct investment as of 1 February 2026, following CMA Board approval of the regulatory framework allowing non-resident foreign investors to invest directly in the Main Market.
Key points of the approved amendments:
- The capital market, across all its segments, is now accessible to various categories of investors worldwide for direct participation.
- The amendments aim to expand and diversify the investor base permitted to invest in the Main Market, supporting investment inflows and enhancing market liquidity.
- The Qualified Foreign Investor (QFI) concept in the Main Market has been eliminated, allowing all categories of foreign investors to access the market without meeting prior qualification requirements.
- The regulatory framework governing swap agreements — previously used to enable non-resident foreign investors to obtain economic benefits only from listed securities — has been eliminated, replaced by the allowance of direct investment in shares listed on the Main Market.
