Saudi Capital Market Authority limits off-exchange margins

The Saudi Capital Market Authority has announced a new regulation that sets a minimum margin requirement for trading in foreign markets. The goal is to reduce the high levels of leverage used by Saudi investors abroad. The regulation stipulates that the initial margin must be at least 50% of the transaction value, with daily monitoring to prevent the margin from falling below 25% of the current value of the position. It also prohibits trades on certain products such as leveraged index funds and leveraged traded instruments, and requires explicit and written client approval before lending their shares abroad. The adjustments aim to organize external activities and reduce risks associated with leverage usage, with implementation starting from November 2026.
