Tadawul trading screen
Sixteen years have passed since the Tadawul All-Share Index (TASI) hit its lowest level on March 9, 2009, at 4,130 points amid the global financial crisis.
The benchmark rebounded in the second half of 2007 and early 2008, driven by petrochemical stocks that hit record highs, pushing the index close to 12,000 points. However, the global crisis, which sparked in mid-2008, weighed on the markets worldwide.
TASI ended today, March 9, 2025, at 11,837 points — a surge of 187%, compared to its close on March 9, 2009.
However, the index declined by 6.1% (763 points), down from 12,600 points in March 2024.
