Riyadh . An initial public offering by a Saudi Arabian carpetmaker has 
had the lowest oversubscription rate since 2002 due to negative 
sentiment in the local bourse which is still struggling to recover from 
a crash this year.

Al Abdullatif Industrial Investment Co's SR819m ($218m) was 61.5 per 
cent oversubscribed, lead manager Samba Financial Group said yesterday.

This was the lowest oversubscription rate in the last 20 initial public 
offerings, said Abdulhamid Al Omari, a member of the Saudi Economic 
Association.

"It's the lowest since 2002, a huge difference with the rates we have 
seen in 2005 and 2006," he said.
