Riyadh / Shanghai, 03 September 2026 - Saudi Tadawul Group (“the Group”), concludes the main conference day of CMF Select Shanghai 2026, bringing together over 400 participants from Saudi Arabia, China and international capital markets. The conference focused on strengthening connectivity across markets and building connections between investors, issuers and market participants.

Taking place in Shanghai on 3 September, the main conference day convened senior leaders, investors, issuers and market participants from across the financial ecosystem. CMF Select Shanghai will continue on 4 September with a dedicated Corporate Access Programme, held in partnership with HSBC, providing investors with opportunities to engage with participating companies, gain deeper insights into their businesses and explore areas of mutual interest.

Mr. Mohammed Al-Rumaih, CEO of Saudi Exchange, said: “CMF Select Shanghai reflects the strong and evolving relationship between Saudi Arabia and China, as well as the opportunities that deeper connectivity can create across our capital markets. The dialogue fostered through this edition creates a platform to exchange perspectives, strengthen relationships and unlock new avenues for investment and participation. We look forward to building on this momentum and further strengthening the integration of the Saudi Capital Market with China and the wider global capital markets.”

Mr. HUO Ruirong, Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, added: “It was a pleasure to see CMF Select Shanghai bring together participants from Saudi Arabia, China and across the international capital markets community here at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Back in September 2023, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Saudi Tadawul Group signed an MOU, setting up a regular framework for cooperation. Since then, mutual understanding has grown by leaps and bounds. Tangible progress has made between the two capital markets. Looking ahead, this forum is just a beginning. We will further deepen cooperation with Saudi Tadawul Group, creating more platforms for engagement, opening up more opportunities for listed companies, securities firms and fund institutions on both sides.”

CMF Select Shanghai comes amid growing ties between the Saudi and Chinese capital markets, supported by increasing institutional engagement and stronger channels connecting investors and issuers across both countries. The forum also reflects the Group’s broader efforts to strengthen the Saudi Capital Market’s connectivity with international markets and deepen engagement with the global capital markets community.

The Shanghai edition forms part of the Group’s Capital Markets Forum series, which brings together capital market participants across key global financial centers to support dialogue and strengthen connections across markets.

Following Shanghai, the series will continue with CMF Select London on 5–6 November 2026, followed by CMF Select Red Sea on 24 November 2026.
