Saudi Non-Institutional Foreign Ownership Holds at 11.23%

Non-institutional foreign investors kept their ownership in Tadawul-listed equities, excluding Saudi Aramco, unchanged at 11.23% last week, according to data from the Saudi Exchange. The position was valued at SAR 354.55 billion.

The reading marks the second consecutive week at that level, following a period of gradual accumulation through the first quarter. The stability suggests no material shift in cross-border positioning among the non-institutional category, which includes foreign individuals and investment funds not classified as strategic or institutional holders.

Saudi Arabia's market has drawn steady foreign interest since the index upgrade to emerging-market status in 2019, though flows have moderated in recent months alongside global rate uncertainty. The Tadawul All Share Index traded near flat on the week.
