Tadawul ratifies listing of over SAR 10.5bn additional gov’t debt instruments

Riyadh – Mubasher: The Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) has officially approved a request from the Ministry of Finance to list additional government debt instruments totaling SAR 10.57 billion, according to an official statement.

The instruments represent increases to existing classes of Sukuk and bonds already trading on the market; a move that aligns with the Kingdom’s ongoing fiscal strategy to diversify funding sources and deepen the local capital market.

The new tranches commenced trading on 25 June 2026. Meanwhile, this latest expansion of the sovereign debt portfolio involves six specific issuances, each seeing a significant increase in its total outstanding value.

By tapping into existing classes, the government aims to enhance liquidity within these specific instruments while streamlining the management of its domestic debt profile.

The largest individual increase among the approved instruments is directed toward the issuance originally dated 10 January 2019, identified by Tadawul code 5274. This issuance will see an addition of SAR 4.69 billion, bringing its total aggregate value to SAR 38.29 billion. This substantial expansion reflects the continued relevance and scale of longer-term government debt vehicles in the Saudi market.

Furthermore, several issuances from the 2023 and 2024 cycles have been augmented.

The issuance dated 8 August 2023 (Tadawul code 5332) was increased by SAR 2.12 billion to reach a new total of SAR 16.49 billion.

Similarly, the issuance from 10 August 2023 (Tadawul code 5334) received an additional SAR 1.02 billion that resulted in a total value of SAR 21.24 billion.

The Ministry also focused on more recent instruments. The issuance dated 12 April 2024 (Tadawul code 5344) saw an increase of SAR 1.64 billion, pushing its total value to SAR 48.77 billion.

Meanwhile, the issuance from 15 January 2024 (Tadawul code 5339) was increased by SAR 320.50 million, bringing its total to SAR 49.48 billion.

Finally, the issuance dated 15 January 2026 (Tadawul code 5379) was expanded by SAR 770 million to reach a total of SAR 16.13 billion.

The technical integration of these additional tranches into Tadawul’s trading systems is scheduled to be completed ahead of the commencement of trading. This process ensures that the updated nominal values are accurately reflected for investors and market participants, maintaining the transparency and integrity of the sovereign debt market.

It is worth noting that Tadawul lately disclosed draft amendments to its Exchange Rules to boost the regulatory framework for securitization and asset-backed debt instruments while fostering a more efficient and transparent environment for a wide range of investors.
