      Investment firm licensees who are also members of the Bahrain Stock Exchange ('BSE') are reminded that the BSE is also empowered to exercise its own enforcement powers by virtue of the Bahrain Stock Exchange Decree — Law No. 4 of 1987 (the 'BSE Law'). Article 14 of the BSE Law lays down a number of penalties which the disciplinary board of the BSE may impose on persons who violate the BSE Law and/or the regulations made thereunder. In appropriate circumstances, the CBB may ask the BSE to consider the exercise of its powers under Article 14 in support of the enforcement objectives of the CBB.
