Saudi joint stock companies had their beginnings in the mid 1930’s, when the "Arab Automobile” company was established as the first joint stock company. By 1975 there were about 14 public companies. The rapid economic expansion, besides the Saudisation of part of the foreign banks capital in the 1970’s led to the establishment of a number of large corporations and joint stock banks. The market remained informal, until the early 1980’s when the government embarked on forming a regulated market for trading together with the required systems. In 1984, a Ministerial Committee composed of the Ministry of Finance and National Economy, Ministry of Commerce and Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) was formed to regulate and develop the market. SAMA was the government body charged with regulating and monitoring market activities until the Capital Market Authority (CMA) was established in July 2003 under the Capital Market Law (CML) by Royal Decree No. (M/30). The CMA is the sole regulator and supervisor of the capital market, it issues the required rules and regulations to protect investors and ensure fairness and efficiency in the market.

At Banque Saudi Fransi we’re different – in a good way. We know that culture eats strategy for breakfast and because of this we take our values very seriously. Our values are what unifies us as a collective of individually minded people towards a powerful common goal. They direct us in how we treat one another and how we interact outside the organisation. These are not your average corporate values, in fact they are super different – see for yourself! True to ourselves, always | We are honest with one another, even at the risk of temporary disharmony. It is never personal. Us before me | We put ideas before ego and leverage the expertise of others. Keep it simple | We strive to make everything we do as simple as possible. We set our people up for success and then get out of their way. We only need to be asked one. We own it. Winning is fun | We seek to be number one in the hearts and minds of our people, customers and shareholders. We have limitless ambition and the drive to win. We are BSF | Always putting the needs of our people, customers, shareholders and society ahead of our own personal agenda. We are a community that we defend and protect, always. Think big, act quick | We think long-term in our decisions, but we make them quickly and have a bias towards action.
