Trading session local time · Asia/Riyadh
Session hours and the settlement cycle are compiled by Finance Foundation from the venue’s own published trading calendar. These are exact and change-prone — an extended session or a moved auction dates a figure like this quickly — so each row below carries what two independently maintained open calendars say about the same venue. Verify against the exchange before relying on any of it operationally. Sources.
Two independently maintained open calendars return the same hours as we hold. Cross-check from exchange_calendars (Apache 2.0) and pandas_market_calendars (MIT); neither endorses this site.

Not the name this venue trades under. Saudi Tadawul Group is the group; the entity above is the one the ISO 10383 registry binds XSAU to, and the one that legally runs this market. - Ultimate owner
- None above it — شركة مجموعة تداول السعودية القابضة شركة is the top of its own ownership chain.
GLEIF records no parent for this entity (NO_KNOWN_PERSON), so the operator is itself the top of the tree - Owner listed
- 1111 on Saudi Exchange (Tadawul)
Self-listed — its own shares trade on a market it operates. - Who holds it
- State-controlled with a minority float — the Public Investment Fund holds 60% of the share capital after selling 30% at the December 2021 IPO and a further 10% in November 2022, and the group's own accounts name PIF as its "Ultimate controlling party".
