Yes — the CISI General Saudi Capital Market Rules & Regulations exam is approved by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) and is a requirement for professionals working in regulated roles in Saudi Arabia's financial sector.
GSCMR covers the Saudi CMA regulatory framework including authorised persons requirements, securities offerings, listing rules, market conduct, corporate governance, collective investment schemes, mergers and acquisitions, and enforcement procedures.
All content is created from the official CISI workbooks and compiled with input from financial professionals working in Saudi Arabia who have passed the GSCMR exam. Their regulatory knowledge and exam feedback are combined into our interactive study system.
