Twenty-one capital market institutions in Saudi Arabia achieved 100% brokerage service availability in Q2 2026, marking an improvement from 19 institutions in the prior quarter, according to a report published by the Capital Market Authority (CMA). Furthermore, all brokerage firms operating in the Kingdom recorded availability rates exceeding 98%, underscoring the operational stability of trading systems and electronic trade execution platforms across the country.
Major financial firms, including SNB Capital, J.P. Morgan Saudi Arabia, and Goldman Sachs Saudi Arabia, joined the elite group of institutions offering 100% operational availability during the second quarter. The availability metric measures the total duration that order execution, platform access, and trading interfaces remain functioning for retail and institutional clients relative to operational market hours.
This continuous improvement in technical infrastructure highlights the CMA's strict regulatory oversight and commitment to boosting market reliability. For international and domestic investors, enhanced platform stability reduces execution risks and slippage during volatile trading sessions, reinforcing confidence in the Saudi capital market (Tadawul).
