While I understand how powerful Ithar can be, I also understand the importance of shareholder and client structure.

The purpose of building Ithar is to provide Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries with a superior solution for predicting commodity volatility.
The majority of Ithar can be addressed with statistical methods.
While commodity volatility and weather impact is important, developing own indices would provide Ithar with independence from Bloomberg and S&P while ensuring cost efficient growth.

The aim of Ithar is to build a sustainable solution in all aspects.
