Experts discuss Saudis' trading regulation
The article reports that the Saudi Capital Market Authority is in the process of establishing a new regulatory framework to oversee individual and institutional foreign investment in global financial markets, especially in U.S. markets, which are experiencing a rise in foreign trading volumes. During the first quarter of 2026, these foreign交易 reached approximately 264.4 billion Riyals, marking a 71% increase compared to the previous year. The proposed regulations include investor protection rules, such as setting a minimum margin requirement of 25% and establishing a maximum leverage limit, aimed at managing risks and reducing investor losses. Despite the increase in foreign trading activity, assets held abroad remain below the volume of foreign交易, emphasizing that the Saudi market continues to have the largest investor ownership. The regulation seeks to standardize leverage risks and prevent the use of unlicensed platforms, while promoting risk management, without restricting investment in international markets and maintaining the stability of the domestic market.
