What is the name of the stock exchange where Saudi Aramco's shares began trading in 2019?

The story behind the answer

Saudi Aramco's shares began trading on the Saudi Stock Exchange in 2019.

The Saudi Stock Exchange is also known as Tadawul, a name commonly used for both the exchange and Saudi Arabia's broader public-equity market. Saudi Aramco's initial public offering began trading there on December 11, 2019, after the company priced its shares at 32 Saudi riyals.

The listing was historically significant because Saudi Aramco was one of the world's most valuable companies and because the offering was connected to Saudi Arabia's plans to diversify its economy. The company raised billions of dollars while the Saudi state remained its controlling shareholder.

This question concerns the exchange, not the investment bank syndicate, the company's home city, or the index that tracks major Saudi-listed shares. The exchange is headquartered in Riyadh and is the principal securities market in Saudi Arabia. Its English name is often written as Saudi Exchange in more recent official usage, but Saudi Stock Exchange remains the canonical English article title in many reference sources.
