Number 1010239773 Registered office: Faisaliah Tower, 17th floor, King Fahad Road - Al Olaya District Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia P.O. Box 30180 4 Foreword The upgrade of Saudi Arabia’s stock market, the Tadawul, to emerging market status by index provider MSCI sends a strong signal to international institutional investors that the country has made significant progress in elevating its capital markets to international standards, improving levels of corporate governance and market transparency. Saudi Arabia is undergoing a major transformation under the Vision 2030 programme. This has placed Saudi’s economy on a more sustainable path over the long term, as it has already taken steps to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on oil revenues. The first edition of Marhaba was an innovative guide providing our valued clients with relevant information on the Saudi Arabian market. We hope you enjoy this second edition, with updated Qualified Foreign Investor rules, market procedures and an overview of the implications of MSCI inclusion. Congratulations to the Deutsche Securities Saudi Arabia team for their efforts in publishing the 2018 edition. Tamim Jabr Chief Executive Officer Deutsche Securities Saudi Arabia 5 Foreword Saudi Arabia has made significant strides in the journey towards driving market infrastructure to match international standards, and the recently announced MSCI upgrade of the country to emerging markets is a testament of that commitment. A constantly evolving infrastructure, economic development, strong demographics and several upcoming IPOs make Saudi Arabia an attractive destination for foreign investors. These investors can invest directly in the stock markets via the Qualified Foreign Investor (QFI) rules. The rules are relatively new and bring with them changes to market entry requirements, settlement procedures, documentation required and time to market. This guide aims to answer all questions investors may have about these developments and provides an insight into how we support them in this market. I trust you will find this booklet useful and encourage you to reach out to your local Deutsche Bank representative for any questions you may have. Fiona Gallagher Global Head of Securities Services & Chief Country Officer for Ireland Deutsche Bank 6 1.

  • 1 Overview of Saudi–Iranian Relations 1
    Notes 1 Overview of Saudi–Iranian Relations 1. Saudi Arabia and Iran share at least three joint oilfields, each known by its Persian or Arabic name, respectively: Esfandiar/Al Louloua, Foroozan/Marjan, and Farzad/Hasbah. Arash/Al Dorrah is shared between Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The three states have yet to reach an agreement over the demarca- tion of the maritime boundary in the northern Persian Gulf that affects the field. Iran’s share of the Esfandiar and Foroozan fields has dropped to levels that make their further development uneconomic, in part due to Saudi ability to extract faster from the fields. Saudi Arabia and Iran signed an agreement to develop the Farzad/Hasbah A gas field in January 2012, and were scheduled to sign a second agreement to develop the Farzad B gas field and Arash/Al Dorrah oilfield, pend- ing the removal of international sanctions against Iran. In 2014, they contested their respective shares in the Arash/Al Dorrah. 2 . British administration in the Persian Gulf began in 1622, when the British fleet helped the Persian Safavid king, Shah Abbas, expel the Portuguese from Hormuz island. The period of the British Residency of the Persian Gulf as an official colonial subdivision extended from 1763 to 1971. 3 . Interview with Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of Gulf Research Center, Riyadh, November 30, 2011. 4 . Alinaqi Alikhani, yad dasht ha-yi asaddollah alam , jeld shesh, 1355–1356 [The Diaries of Alam], vol. 6, 1975–1976 (tehran: entesharat maziar va moin, 1377), pp. 324–325; 464. When the shah insists that the United States should under- stand that it cannot make Iran “a slave [puppet] government,” Alam informs him that the Americans have tried to make contact with different groups in Iranian society—alluding to dissidents.
