Episode Description
Welcome to Carver's Middle East Regulatory Updates.
In this episode, we discuss significant institutional moves such as the Capital Market Authority's approval of a capital increase for Asas Makeen Real Estate Development, raising capital from 100 million to 300 million Saudi Riyals by issuing bonus shares.
The Central Bank of Bahrain reported a highly oversubscribed treasury bills issuance worth 70 million Bahraini Dinars, reflecting strong investor demand with a 4.85% weighted average interest rate.
The Capital Market Authority also extended fee exemptions for debt instrument issuance requests for issuers with publicly rated debt, encouraging transparency and market activity until the end of 2027.
On the technology front, we cover critical security updates:
- ASUS removed a vulnerable File Shredder feature in Business Manager 3.0.37.0 addressing privilege escalation risks.
- HP released ThinPro 8.1 SP9 patching multiple critical vulnerabilities.
- Samsung issued security patches for flagship mobile devices covering high-severity risks from Google and Samsung.
- SmarterTools SmarterMail versions prior to Build 9511 have critical remote code execution and authentication bypass vulnerabilities.
These updates are vital for compliance and cybersecurity awareness across the region.
