As of the Saudi Exchange monthly report dated May 1, 2026, Aramco, ticker 2222 on the Saudi Exchange, had 242 billion issued shares, a SAR 27.76 closing share price, and a SAR 6.71792 trillion market capitalization, equal to about $1.79 trillion at SAR 3.75 per dollar [S6]. That is the cleanest current official answer to &amp;ldquo;Saudi Aramco net worth.&amp;rdquo; It is not book equity, PIF wealth, royal-family personal wealth, government revenue, oil-reserve value, or realizable sale proceeds [S1], [S2].&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Maaden Saudi Arabia: PIF-Backed Mining Champion Across Gold, Phosphate, And Aluminium</title><link>https://vision2030.ai/analysis/maaden-saudi-mining-champion-gold-phosphate-aluminium-pif-stake/</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://vision2030.ai/analysis/maaden-saudi-mining-champion-gold-phosphate-aluminium-pif-stake/</guid><description>&lt;p>Maaden Group, formally Saudi Arabian Mining Company, is the listed Saudi mining champion behind much of the Kingdom&amp;rsquo;s gold mining Saudi Arabia story and the industrial base for phosphate fertiliser and aluminium.

&lt;p>On 6 January 2026, the Capital Market Authority of Saudi Arabia announced the abolition of the Qualified Foreign Investor regime that had governed foreign access to the Tadawul since 2015. Effective 1 February, all foreign investors — institutional and individual retail — could invest directly in Main Market shares through licensed Saudi intermediaries. No special regulatory status required. No minimum assets under management threshold. No application process. The door that had been progressively opened over a decade was removed from its hinges.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>The Tadawul Opens: How Saudi Arabia's Capital Markets Revolution Changes Everything for Global Investors</title><link>https://vision2030.ai/analysis/tadawul-opens/</link><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://vision2030.ai/analysis/tadawul-opens/</guid><description>&lt;p>For a decade, foreign access to Saudi Arabia&amp;rsquo;s stock market required either $500 million in assets under management or swap structures in which investors never actually owned the shares.

&lt;p>The Saudi Capital Market Authority&amp;rsquo;s abolition of the Qualified Foreign Investor regime is the single most consequential capital markets reform in the Kingdom&amp;rsquo;s history. It transforms the Tadawul — the largest stock exchange in the Middle East, with a market capitalisation exceeding $2.7 trillion — from a restricted market accessible only to institutional heavyweights into an exchange open to every category of foreign investor on earth. Individual retail traders in Tokyo, pension funds in Oslo, family offices in Zurich, and university endowments in Boston can now open brokerage accounts and trade Saudi-listed equities directly, holding legal title to shares with full shareholder rights.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Biggest Companies in Saudi Arabia</title><link>https://vision2030.ai/encyclopedia/biggest-companies-saudi-arabia/</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://vision2030.ai/encyclopedia/biggest-companies-saudi-arabia/</guid><description>&lt;p>&lt;strong>Biggest Companies in Saudi Arabia 2026&lt;/strong> ranks the Kingdom&amp;rsquo;s corporate heavyweights by market value, revenue scale and strategic role.&lt;/p>
