Xavier Rolet, the former chief executive of the London Stock Exchange, has joined the board of Tadawul, Saudi Arabia’s national equities market, along with his former LSE colleague Mark Makepeace.

The appointments are significant for Tadawul, which is fresh from hosting the initial public offering of state oil giant Saudi Aramco — the biggest stock market debut of all time.
