Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) ended 2022 with a decline of 7.1%, or 804 points, at 10,478 points, compared to 11,282 points in 2021, data compiled by Argaam show.

This is the first loss recorded by TASI since 2015, when it dropped 17%.

The benchmark gained 16% (1,808 points) in Q1 2022, and then fell 12% (1,567 points) in Q2 2022. It edged down 1% (118 points) in Q3 2022, and deepened its losses to 8.1% (927 points) in Q4 2022.

- The onset of the Russia-Ukraine war and the state of uncertainty it caused on oil markets and the global economy.

- Prices of Brent crude reached their highest and lowest levels of $139 and $75 a barrel, respectively, during the year.

- Saudi Tadawul Group Holding Co. (Tadawul Group) implemented new improvements to develop the post-trading infrastructure and increase its efficiency. Single stock futures (SSFs) were also launched, and the market-making framework for equity and derivatives markets was introduced.

- Amendment to the rules on the offering of securities and continuing obligations to offer an additional option of increasing capital through the issuance of shares without a rights issue.

- Delisting of National Petrochemical Co. (Petrochem) after its merger with the Saudi Industrial Investment Group (SIIG). In addition, Saudi Indian Company for Cooperative Insurance (Wafa Insurance) got delisted after the start of liquidation procedures.

- Tadawul also witnessed the delisting of AlAhli Takaful Co. (ATC) after its merger with Arabian Shield Cooperative Insurance Co. Further, SABB Takaful was delisted after its merger with Walaa Cooperative Insurance Co.

- Lifting COVID-19-related precautionary and preventive measures.

- King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud issued a royal decree to earmark SAR 20 billion to face the repercussions of global price hikes.

- Another royal decree was also issued to appoint Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman as Prime Minister.

- The Saudi economy recorded the highest growth rates among G20 countries this year.
