The Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) has issued Issue No. (120) of the Quarterly Bulletin on the Performance of Arab Stock Markets, which reviews performance indicators for the first quarter of 2025. The data revealed mixed performance across Arab financial markets, mirroring similar trends seen in global financial markets—both advanced and emerging—during the same period.
In terms of market capitalization, the total market value of Arab financial markets declined by 1.45%, reaching approximately USD 4.32 trillion by the end of Q1 2025—a loss of around USD 63.77 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Total trading value also fell by 2.60%, amounting to USD 250.53 billion during the first quarter.
The divergence in performance is attributed to several factors, most notably the global anticipation regarding the implementation of new tariffs announced by the U.S. administration during the first quarter. These measures disrupted supply chains and increased production costs, negatively impacting market indicators.
