Disclosure of Inside Information in Kuwait & the UK

In Kuwait, the Capital Markets Act 2010 (the Act) gives the regulatory authority the power to pass disclosure rules. However, the Act does not mention how to improve such disclosure rules. Therefore, this book will discuss the aspect of protecting individual investors, which involves ensuring fair disclosure by listed companies, because informed investors are protected investors. This book will discuss the idea of having fair disclosure to protect investors, to ensure that all investors have equal opportunity to know about inside information in an appropriate time and manner. This book will also examine the existing disclosure rules that apply to equity shares in Kuwait as compared to the UK's disclosure regimes as examples of developed countries.
