UG-A.1.4

Volume 6 (Capital Markets) covers the regulation and supervision of Bahrain's capital markets. When complete, it will include requirements dealing with (i) the offering and listing of securities; (ii) the authorisation and supervision of exchanges (notably the Bahrain Bourse); and (iii) capital market behaviour (such as insider dealing and market abuse, and the conduct of mergers and acquisitions of listed companies). Collectively, these requirements aim to ensure transparent and orderly markets, which help protect the rights of investors and shareholders, whilst enabling an attractive environment for those seeking to raise capital.
