Capital Markets Authority

The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) is a government or regulatory agency that oversees and regulates the financial markets, such as stock exchanges and investment firms, to ensure they operate fairly, transparently, and efficiently. Its role includes protecting investors, maintaining market integrity, and fostering growth by enforcing rules and standards for companies seeking to raise capital through securities. Essentially, the CMA acts as a watchdog to promote confidence and stability in the financial system, ensuring that all participants adhere to laws designed to prevent fraud and malpractice.
