Capital-Flow Context
The Saudi market continues to draw attention from regional and international investors, supported by its status as the largest in MENA. Passive inflows via ETFs and index funds remain a structural feature, while currency effects tied to the SAR peg influence foreign positioning. Southbound flows from other GCC markets can add volatility in response to relative valuations.
