Country/Region 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ETFs Equity Risk: Medium-High Since 2018-10-01

FLSA provides exposure to Saudi Arabian equities at a competitive 0.39% expense ratio. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest oil exporter and is executing an ambitious Vision 2030 economic diversification plan.

FLSA: Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030

Franklin FTSE Saudi Arabia ETF provides access to the Middle East's largest equity market during a period of unprecedented economic transformation. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative aims to diversify the economy beyond oil dependence through massive investment in entertainment, tourism, technology, and green energy.

Vision 2030 Transformation

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 is driving a complete transformation of Saudi society and economy. NEOM (a $500B futuristic city), entertainment mega-projects, tourism infrastructure, and sports investments are creating new industries and employment opportunities.

Aramco and Beyond

While Saudi Aramco (the world's most profitable company) dominates the market, the Saudi exchange also features growing financial, retail, and technology companies that benefit from domestic consumption growth and government spending.

MSCI Inclusion

Saudi Arabia's inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in 2019 attracted significant international capital flows and improved market liquidity. The Tadawul exchange continues to modernize with new listings and regulatory improvements.
