Middle East & Africa Reg Desk

Thursday, 2026-08-27 · covering the last 24h

Gulf

No material items from Saudi CMA/Tadawul, UAE SCA/DFSA/FSRA/DFM/ADX, Qatar QFMA/QSE or Kuwait CMA/Boursa Kuwait in the last 24 hours. No Fed meeting in the window, so no fresh dollar-peg follow-through to report.

Israel

No material ISA, TASE or Bank of Israel items in the window. The Monetary Committee's next rate decision is due 1 September; the last move was a 25bp cut to 3.50% on 6 July.

Africa

No new items from South Africa FSCA/JSE/SARB, Kenya CMA/NSE/CBK or Morocco AMMC/Bank Al-Maghrib in the last 24 hours. On the two open items: Egypt's short-selling framework (FRA Resolution 155) still has no confirmed trading-launch date — brokers get one month from the resolution to ready systems, which now points informally to late September rather than the exchange chairman's earlier "before month-end" guidance. Nigeria's NGX has not announced a new effective date for its postponed equity pricing-methodology relaunch.
