Title: The CMA Enhances its Service Related to the Right to Access and Obtain Information and Documents

Kuwait, July 31, 2023 - As part of its efforts to streamline procedures, improve efficiency, and digitize processes, the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has developed an electronic application for requesting access to information and obtaining relevant documents in accordance with Law No. 12 of 2020. This application is available on the CMA's online portal and will also be accessible through the government mobile application "Sahel". The CMA was one of the first entities to implement this law and has established a dedicated email address, raid@cma.gov.kw, specifically for requests regarding information and documents. This email provides interested parties the opportunity to access the information and documents permitted by the law, along with an accompanying guide that offers instructions for reference.

In conclusion, the CMA reasserts its commitment to continually improve its service delivery and simplify procedures in line with international best practices, with the aim of facilitating engagement for all stakeholders.
