Saudi Tadawul Group (the “Group”) has successfully concluded CMF Select New York 2026, presented by Saudi Tadawul Group and co-hosted by Nasdaq, bringing together global exchanges, regulators, investors, financial and technology leaders for two days of dialogue on the priorities shaping the evolution of global capital markets.
Held in New York City on 2–3 February, the forum featured discussions on key forces reshaping capital markets, market structure and regulation, the evolving role of exchanges, innovation in trading and post-trade infrastructure, and the impact of AI and data on investment decision-making and portfolio construction. In addition, a dedicated corporate access programme facilitated direct engagement between investors and companies, reinforcing the Group’s long-term investor relationships.

The discussions in New York also took place against the backdrop of a significant milestone for the Saudi capital market, following the removal of the Qualified Foreign Investor (QFI) framework, which came into effect on 1 February. This change further enhances market access for international investors participating in the Saudi capital market and reflects the continued evolution of the market toward greater openness, transparency, and long-term global participation.

The forum welcomed over 300 participants, including senior representatives from Saudi Arabia, the United States, and international financial institutions. The corporate access programme facilitated numerous meetings between investors and issuers over the second day of the forum.
