The data highlights the continued use of negotiated deals as a mechanism for large-volume trading on the Tadawul. These transactions offer a way for institutional investors and other parties to execute trades outside of the standard order book, providing flexibility and potentially minimizing market impact.
Tadawul emphasizes that these private transactions are conducted under strict regulatory oversight, ensuring fairness and transparency within the Saudi capital market. The exchange’s rules require that such deals align with its regulations and those issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA).
The prevalence of negotiated deals underscores the sophistication of the Saudi stock market and the diverse trading strategies employed by its participants. While not directly influencing benchmark indices, these transactions contribute to overall market liquidity and provide an alternative avenue for investors to manage their portfolios.
