Saudi Arabia: Equity market opens to direct foreign investment Saudi Arabia is opening its stock market to direct investment by foreigners on 15 June
2015. As the largest and most liquid market in MENA, there is understandably significant
interest in and excitement about this event, and for economic reasons the decision is also
timely.
Saudi Arabia is the biggest economy in the GCC, and the 19th largest economy in the
world, with a nominal GDP of USD 753bn in 2014. It is also the most populous nation in
the GCC with 30.8 people, more than half of which are under the age of 30.
With the second largest proven oil reserves in the world, oil remains a key driver of
economic growth in Saudi Arabia, with the hydrocarbons sector accounting for over 40%
of GDP last year, up from 33% of GDP in 2004. Moreover, hydrocarbon revenues account
for around 90% of total budget revenues and have thus been the main driver behind the
substantial fiscal surpluses that have been accumulated over the last decade.
Saudi budget in deficit for the first time in 12 years in 2014… The sharp decline in oil prices since last summer have had an immediate and significant
impact on the fiscal position. The 2014 budget recorded the first deficit in 12 years, at –
SAR65.5bn (-2.3% of GDP), and the deficit is likely to have widened this year to around
12%. In addition to further weakness in oil prices in Q1 2015, government spending has
likely been higher than budgeted year-to-date as a result of one-off bonuses and
disbursements on the accession of King Salman in February and the escalation of military
activity in Yemen and against ISIS.
Given the increased spending on defence, and the difficulty in reducing public sector
wages, some budget cuts are likely to be made on the capital spending front. However,
the government has ring-fenced funding for major infrastructure projects and we expect
those projects already underway to continue. The emphasis in recent years has been on
developing transport, housing, education and healthcare infrastructure, including the
construction of thousands of kilometers of roads, new schools, universities, hospitals as
well as expansion of ports, airports and railways. The 2015 budget allocated substantial
funds for education, healthcare and social services infrastructure.

…but spending can be maintained for some time So far, the government appears to have been drawing down accumulated
reserves in order to fund the budget shortfalls, with SAMA’s Net Foreign Assets
(NFAs) declining by -USD 45.5bn in the year to April. However, the stock of NFAs
remains substantial, at about USD 678bn, or 90% of GDP, which provides a
substantial cushion against low oil prices and should allow the government to
avoid an immediate, sharp fiscal consolidation, which would have a negative
impact on economic growth. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia has no external public
debt, and the stock of domestic debt is low at just 1.6% of GDP (2014). We expect
the government to increase domestic debt issuance and rely less on drawing down
accumulated reserves in order to finance budget shortfalls in 2015.
Current account expected to move into deficit in 2015 It is from an external balance perspective that the decision to open the Saudi
equity market to direct foreign investment is timely. The Kingdom has run a current
account surplus since at least 2006, mainly due to oil revenues. The current
account surplus narrowed to USD 75.6bn in 2014 from USD 134.2bn in 2013, both
on the back of lower oil revenues and a higher deficit on the services balance. In
2015, we forecast a current account deficit of -USD 13.7bn (-2.0% of GDP). An
increase in portfolio investment following the opening of the equity market, while
by no means necessary, would help to offset the current account deficit, which in
the absence of other inward investment in the Kingdom would have put additional
pressure on official FX reserves and reduce maneuverability in terms of running
the budget deficit.
Why is Saudi Arabia an attractive prospect for foreign investment? Although growth is expected to be slower in 2015 – we conservatively forecast
growth of 2.5% - the Kingdom has strong fundamentals including low debt,
substantial accumulated reserves and a young and growing population. The
Tadawul is the largest stock market in MENA, and the seventh largest in the global
emerging market (GEM) universe, with a market capitalization of USD 570bn. With
an average daily value traded of c. USD 2.5bn, it is the fourth most liquid market
among its GEM peers.
However, Tadawul has not been included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index
because of the restrictions on foreign ownership. Opening the market to direct
investment by foreigners removes the last hurdle towards being included in the
MSCI Emerging Markets index. According to market estimates, if included, Saudi
Arabia could hold a weight of as much as 4.4% in the MSCI Emerging Market
index, which could translate into c. USD5bn of inflows into the Tadawul.
Foreigners currently own an estimated 1% of the market. If the total foreign
ownership in Saudi Arabia were to increase to 5%, the equivalent of the average
foreign ownership level in the UAE and Qatar, then that could translates into
inflows of c. USD 25bn.
How will it work?
Broad Regulations In order to qualify as a Qualified Financial Institution (QFI), the applicant or any of
its affiliates must have a minimum of five years of related experience and have at
least SAR 18.75bn worth of assets under management (AUM). The CMA reserves
the right to reduce the minimum threshold for AUM to SAR 11.25bn.
Each QFI will be able to hold up to 5% at an individual company level and the
aggregate position in the market level (including any SWAP position) has been
capped at 10% of total market value.
Page 3
The Fine Print The CMA has explicitly mentioned that strategic investors will be accounted for in
the maximum allowed foreign ownership limit of 49%. The regulator also said that
it will consider allowing foreigners to participate in IPOs on a case-by-case basis.
The regulator has also approved the Independent Custody Model which in effect
separates the role of the custodian and the broker and allows QFIs to place orders
with multiple brokers without the need to maintain separate cash accounts with
each broker.
The QFIs will be subject to the 5% withholding tax on dividends which will be
collected by the company.
The current settlement cycle of T+0 will continue and hence all transactions by
QFIs will need to be pre-funded.
Individual Stock Limits The aggregate QFI limit for all stocks listed on the Tadawul is 49%. However QFIs
are barred from investing in Makkah Construction & Development, Jabal Omar
Development, Taiba Holding, Knowledge Economic City and National Shipping
Co.
As per latest available data, the following stocks have limited foreign ownership
limits:
Stock Allowed Ownership Limit Current Foreign Ownership
Saudi Hollandi Bank 49% 41.81% Saudi British Bank 49% 41.60% Arab National Bank 49% 40.87% ANB Insurance 49% 40.29% Petro Rabigh 49% 38.59%
The valuation conundrum
The Tadawul is currently trading on a 12-month forward P/E of 16.5x, a 30%
premium to the MSCI Emerging Markets index which is trading at 12.7x 12-month
forward P/E. Similarly on a P/B ratio basis, the Tadawul is currently trading at 38%
premium to the MSCI Emerging Markets index at 2.07x. The premium in valuation
looks exaggerated when net earnings downgrade of 13% and a very weak
earnings revision ratio of below 1.0 at 0.3 are taken into account.
