Essentially, SDRs represent ownership in shares of a foreign company, with each SDR backed by actual shares held by a custodian in the company's home country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The rationale: <\/strong>SDRs provide significant benefits to all parties involved. For foreign companies, SDRs offer access to Saudi capital markets and investors without the complexities and costs of a direct listing. For Saudi investors, they provide a tool to invest in international companies while trading on a local platform, eliminating the need to transact on foreign stock exchanges. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To qualify, foreign issuers looking to list SDRs must meet specific requirements.<\/strong> These include having shares listed on another regulated exchange, securing approval to list SDRs from said foreign exchange, having at least 200 public shareholders at the time of listing and ensuring that 30% of issued shares are owned by the public. Issuers are also required to maintain continuous compliance with liquidity and shareholder thresholds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Other key changes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Foreign issuers must submit additional documents, including SDR allocation details, restrictions, and the share-to-SDR ratio;<\/li>\n<li>The relevant authorities will review SDR applications within 45 days, matching the timeline for cross-listed shares; <\/li>\n<li>Foreign issuers must disclose SDR-related actions affecting pricing or shareholder rights simultaneously in both domestic and foreign markets.<\/li>\n<li>SDR trading may be suspended if corresponding foreign securities are delisted or suspended abroad and\/or after a foreign issuer announces a capital reduction in which case trading will resume two days after the general assembly\u2019s resolution; <\/li>\n<li>Local depository institutions must notify SDR-holders about general assembly dates, corporate actions and relay instructions from shareholders. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Leveling the playing field? <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zamakhchary.com\/saudi-arabian-capital-market-authority-issues-regulations-on-depositary-receipts\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">In 2020<\/a>, the CMA introduced regulations allowing locally-listed issuers to obtain secondary listings abroad for the first time. Similarly to SDRs, the move facilitated cross-border investment.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/capital-market-authority-cma\/\">Capital Market Authority (CMA)<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/capital-markets\/\">Capital Markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/regulation-watch\/\">REGULATION WATCH<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"93233 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"93233\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/01\/09\/93233\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-93233\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-93233 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasheelfinance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/12\/1942.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"93234\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"93234\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Investment Watch<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/01\/09\/hafar-al-batin-investment-forum-sees-sar-17-bn-in-agreements\/\">\r\n                            Hafar Al Batin Investment Forum sees SAR 17 bn in agreements                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/01\/09\/hafar-al-batin-investment-forum-sees-sar-17-bn-in-agreements\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

This accounted for 40% of all funding rounds in the Mena region, and marked a 9% y-o-y increase. Despite the uptick in the number of funding rounds, funding for UAE startups fell 8% y-o-y to USD 613 mn, in line with a wider regional trend which saw funding fall 29% y-o-y to USD 1.5 bn.

The strategy sees the central bank ensuring the currency\u2019s depreciation is at a lower rate than inflation to maintain purchasing power.

The currency-stabilizing policies have made the country\u2019s carry trade more appealing by cutting risks associated with shock devaluations, Bloomberg says. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The downside risk:<\/strong> Higher demand for imports could come about as an unintended result of Turkey\u2019s real appreciation policy for the TRY, weakening the country\u2019s trade position, Bloomberg\u2019s Turkey economist Selva Bahar Baziki said, adding that the dynamic could put pressure on policymakers. Despite there not being any indication that the scenario is playing out, investors nonetheless need to be wary that the TRY-denominated carry trade is \u201calready quite over-crowded,\u201d portfolio manager at William Blair Investment Management in London Daniel Wood cautioned. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are once again in the red in early morning trading<\/strong>, weighed down by US Federal Reserve minutes that indicate officials are concerned about an incoming jump in inflation on the back of president-elect Donald Trump\u2019s planned trade policies.
