The Saudi Capital Market Authority has successfully distributed compensation to more than 20,000 investors impacted by illegal trading practices involving Al Kathiri Holding Company and Anaam International Holding Company. This payout follows a landmark legal ruling from December 2023, which ordered the recovery of SAR 292.8 million in illicit gains from the offenders. The funds have already been directly deposited into the accounts of eligible investors, with some individuals receiving settlements exceeding SAR 6 million, depending on the severity of their financial losses.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the Kingdom to bolster market integrity and restore investor confidence. Utilizing Article 59 of the Capital Market Law, the authority has established a dedicated fund to ensure that victims of misconduct are reimbursed in a transparent and efficient manner. Marking the fourth such fund launched in less than a year, these efforts highlight Saudi Arabia's commitment to aligning its financial regulations with international best practices, ensuring a fairer and more secure environment for all market participants.
