Saudi Arabia’s stock market was among the top performers in the Arab region in December 2024.

The Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) increased by 3.39%, closing at 12,037 points, with an average daily trading value reached SAR 5.2 billion (US$1.3 billion), totaling SAR 119.6 billion for the month.

The Dubai Financial Market led the regional growth with a 6.42% increase, followed by gains in Palestine (4.58%) and Iraq (4.14%).

This helped the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) composite index for Arab financial markets edged up by 1.03%, driven by improved investor sentiment and easing monetary policies.

Market capitalization across Arab exchanges increased by 2.96% to US$4.4 trillion, with Tadawul contributed significantly.

Monetary policy shifts played a key role, as central banks in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain reduced interest rates.

This monetary easing contributed to enhanced investor confidence and increased market liquidity.
