Issuing and Offering of Securities Module OFS Volume 6 (Capital Markets)
The Central Bank of Bahrain issued industry feedback on its Offering of Securities Module consultation paper to refine regulatory requirements for issuing and offering securities in Bahrain. The revised framework clarifies key definitions, adjusts private placement rules regarding special purpose vehicles and investor thresholds, and maintains pre-emptive rights while aligning with international standards. These changes aim to enhance market transparency, reduce compliance burdens for licensees and foreign issuers, and strengthen investor protection within Bahrain’s capital markets.
