The Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) has revised its tick size structure, aiming to lower investor trading costs and improve market efficiency. The update, effective across both the Main and Parallel (Nomu) Markets, introduces finer price increments, particularly for stocks priced above SAR 500.
By allowing smaller minimum price movements, the change enables tighter bid-ask spreads and more accurate pricing—especially beneficial for high-value trades and active investors. UAE and GCC-based investors are expected to benefit from reduced costs and improved liquidity, aligning Saudi markets with leading global exchanges.
“This move enhances price discovery and supports cross-border investment,” said Mohammed Al-Rumaih, CEO of the Saudi Exchange.
The adjustment is part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 Financial Sector Development Program, positioning Saudi Arabia as a competitive and globally integrated capital market.
