What Nomu is

Nomu is Saudi Arabia's parallel equity market. It offers lighter listing requirements than the main market and serves as an alternative platform for companies seeking to go public. Investment in Nomu is restricted to Qualified Investors. Companies pursuing a direct listing must meet the market's listing requirements and appoint a financial advisor to guide them on the applicable rules.

All listed securities on Nomu are subject to daily price fluctuation limits of plus or minus 30 percent, based on the previous day's closing price or the listing price, with special rules only for the first three trading days of newly listed instruments on other markets.

For residents and investors following the market, the steady performance points to a calm trading environment in early September. Real-time and delayed index levels, market summaries, and component prices for Nomu are available through the Saudi Exchange official portal.
