ABU DHABI 18 March 2020: The Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) has imposed a 5 percent daily lower fluctuation limit for shares effective today (Wednesday, March 18th), and until further notice.
A decision towards this effect has been issued by Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy, Chairman of SCA, in a bid to mitigate market losses amid a free fall in share prices on coronavirus concerns.
Some shares may be allowed to drop as much as 7 percent as per evaluative criteria subject to SCA’s approval, according to decision carried by Wam.
