ANNUAL REPORT 2015
FEDERATION OF EURO-ASIAN STOCK EXCHANGES
MUSCAT SECURITIES MARKET
Muscat Securities Market celebrated its 25th year anniversary in the
year 2014 and is now in its 26th year of its running. We are very proud
to have achieved this important milestone under the light of many
credits MSM has acquired over the years.
Mr. Ahmed Saleh Al-Marhoon
Director General
Today MSM is one of the most transparent SE’s in
GCC and is proud to be using one of the leading
trading software’s systems developed by Euronext
(NYSE Euronext).
Although the liquidity, the number of listed
companies, the number of brokerage companies
and even the regulatory compliance has improved
immensely over the years in our exchange, however,
we at MSM believe that there is always a room for
further improvement.
Therefore, MSM is taking many steps towards even
better liquidity and stronger investor confidence
by creating more IPOs to attract more investment
in order to make MSM play an even bigger role in
the prosperity of the country and provide more
investment options.
We are also now in discussions with CMA to transfer
MSM from being a government owned institution
into a more flexible, and dynamic entity.
