LIMASSOL, Cyprus — iFOREX, a leading global fintech company operating a proprietary electronic trading platform, has expanded its product offering to include CFDs on Saudi Arabian and South Korean shares, further strengthening its global market coverage.
iFOREX clients can now trade CFDs on a broad range of leading Saudi stocks, featuring shares from 13 companies across key sectors such as energy, technology, and finance, all listed on the Saudi Exchange. In addition, clients gain access to top South Korean shares, expanding exposure to some of Asia’s most dynamic equity markets.
This expansion significantly enhances portfolio diversification, allowing traders to access Middle Eastern and Asian markets with the flexibility and efficiency of CFD trading. A key advantage is the ability to trade Saudi stocks on Sundays, as the Saudi Exchange operates from Sunday to Thursday, when most global markets remain closed.
The launch aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to attract foreign investment and liberalise its $2.6 trillion stock market. Recent regulatory developments point toward potential changes, including the possible removal or gradual lifting of the current 49% cap on international investor ownership, expected to be finalised in 2026.
iFOREX now operates across 159 countries, offering access to more than 870 financial instruments, including forex, commodities such as gold, silver, crude oil and WTI, indices, stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin — all with no commission and tight spreads.
Commenting on the expansion, Itai Sadeh, CEO of iFOREX, said:
“As part of iFOREX’s ongoing commitment to global expansion and technological innovation, we are proud to offer CFDs on leading shares from both Saudi Arabia and South Korea — two of the world’s most dynamic and fast-evolving markets. This move anticipates key regulatory developments, particularly in Saudi Arabia, and empowers our global client base to diversify portfolios and capitalise on emerging global trends.”
