Gulf

No material items from Saudi CMA/Tadawul, UAE SCA/DFSA/FSRA/DFM/ADX, Qatar QFMA/QSE or Kuwait CMA/Boursa Kuwait in the window, including over the Gulf's Sunday session, and no new regulatory circulars from SAMA, CBUAE, QCB or CBK. The DFSA's Consultation Paper No. 173 on the DIFC collective-investment-funds framework closed for comment today (7 September); no outcome yet.

Israel

No material ISA, TASE or Bank of Israel rule items in the window.

Africa

No new items from South Africa FSCA/JSE/SARB, Egypt FRA/EGX/CBE, Nigeria SEC/NGX/CBN, Kenya CMA/NSE/CBK or Morocco AMMC/Bank Al-Maghrib in the window. Three previously flagged items remain unresolved: the FSCA's revised JSE Listings Requirements amendment on non-binding remuneration votes still has no published approval despite its objection window having lapsed in late August; Nigeria's NGX equity pricing-methodology relaunch, postponed from 17 August, still has no new effective date; and Egypt's short-selling framework under FRA Resolution 155 still has no confirmed trading-launch date pending the automated link to the Central Lending System.
