SAMA's Notification Prior to Conducting Investment Rounds
The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) issued Circular No. 472056382 requiring non-bank financial institutions to submit a notification at least five working days prior to conducting investment rounds. The circular mandates the submission of key data, including the round's timeline, objective, value, target category, ownership impact, instrument type, and supporting documents. This requirement operates alongside existing regulatory obligations, such as obtaining prior no-objection from SAMA where applicable, and applies to financing, payment services, exchange companies, and licensed financial support establishments in the Kingdom.
