CFO of Sahm Capital, Mohammed Asiri

Saudi Arabia’s capital market has undergone significant development in recent years, supported by strong economic fundamentals, ongoing regulatory reforms, and the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, CFO of Sahm Capital, Mohammed Asiri, said.

Speaking to Argaam on the sidelines of the Argaam Summit, Asiri said the Kingdom is attracting growing interest from international investors as the Capital Market Authority (CMA) continues to broaden market access and strengthen the investment environment.

He noted that the Saudi market now offers investors access to one of the region’s most dynamic economies, backed by increasing sector diversification, rising participation from institutional and retail investors, and continued improvements in transparency and market accessibility.

Commenting on the growing participation of foreign investors, Asiri said expanding market access helps enhance liquidity, increase investor participation, and raise the global profile of companies listed on the Saudi market.

He added that Sahm Capital has launched Saudi equities investment services for retail investors across all six GCC countries, enabling regional investors to access the Saudi capital market through a unified platform.

The CFO believes that ease of access is a key driver of greater market participation. Through expanding services across the GCC, Sahm Capital aims to enable more investors to participate in growth opportunities in the Saudi market through a digital investment experience, he stated.

Asiri added that Sahm Capital continues to see growing interest from investors in the GCC, Asia, and other international markets seeking exposure to the Kingdom’s long-term growth opportunities and economic transformation.

He also noted that publicly available Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) membership classification data show Sahm Capital ranked among the top 10 brokerage firms by online trading activity on the main market during multiple periods.

The exec further indicated that Sahm Capital’s platform has surpassed two million users, adding that the company continues to enhance its digital services and expand its client base in the Saudi market.
