The Capital Market Authority (CMA) Board of Directors issued Decision No. (96) of 2018 to amend its regulations governing intra-day share trading. The decision requires listed companies to maintain a specialized trading department staffed by at least three qualified individuals and limits a single client’s same-day purchase balance reservation to one ten-thousandth of the company’s total listed shares. Additionally, it allows clients to execute multiple same-day trades up to the maximum order limit, provided that all reserved purchased quantities are sold within the same trading session.
