The Capital Market Authority (CMA) of Saudi Arabia issued this Glossary of Defined Terms, pursuant to Board Resolution 4-11-2004 and subsequently amended by Resolution 1-26-2026, to provide authoritative definitions for terms used across its regulations and rules. This document ensures consistent interpretation of legal and operational terminology for market participants, covering a wide array of concepts from "Accredited Valuer" and "Acting in Concert" to "Capital Market Institution" and "Debt Instrument." By specifying the meanings of words and expressions, the Glossary underpins the clarity and enforceability of the CMA's regulatory framework within the Saudi capital market.
