Similar to the recent quarters, the sovereign fixed income listings exceeded the corporate listings with KSA recording the largest sovereign listing for the quarter.

On the other hand, although still active, the debt markets had lower activity in Q1 2022 compared to Q4 2021 and Q1 2021. One IPO took place on the ADX in the United Arab Emirates and the remaining one was listed on Oman's Muscat Stock Exchange. The Saudi Arabian capital markets also caught international headlines, ranked 4th globally by IPO proceeds and accounting for 6% of the global IPO proceeds. Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul leads the GCC region, hosting 13 of the 15 IPOs and generating 78% of the proceeds. Increase in oil and gas prices, further easing of COVID restrictions and the introduction of new regulations and government incentives contributed to the growth in capital markets activity in the region. There were 15 IPOs across the region raising USD4.9 billion, compared to 10 IPOs raising USD5.2 billion in Q4 2021 and 5 IPOs raising USD571 million in Q1 2021. GCC IPO performance in Q1 2022 outperformed that of Q1 2021 in terms of both the number of IPOs and the total IPO value. Compared to Q4 2021, Q1 2022 had 50% more IPOs but raised approximately 6% less proceeds. The economic instability and uncertainty exacerbated by the Ukraine-Russian crisis has negatively impacted many IPO markets across the world, although the GCC region has been relatively well shielded.
