emirates7 - The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) announced that the prohibition on insider trading will commence today, 16th September 2024, and will remain in effect until the full disclosure of the third-quarter 2024 financial statements.

ADX explained that this decision aligns with Article No. 14 of the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) Board of Directors' Decision No. (2/R) of 2001, which pertains to the regulations governing trading, clearing, settlement, transfer of ownership, and custody of securities.

The directive will be distributed to the SCA, all listed companies, relevant ADX departments, accredited brokers, and ADX investors.
