Fair disclosure of inside information by listed companies: A comparative study between the UK and Kuwait

In Kuwait, the Capital Markets Act 2010 (the Act) gives the regulatory authority the power to pass disclosure rules. However, the Act does not mention how to improve such disclosure rules. Therefore, this article will be discussed the aspect of protecting individual investors, which involves ensuring fair disclosure by listed companies, because informed investors are protected investors. This article will discuss the idea of having fair disclosure to protect investors to ensure that all investors have equal opportunity to access and know about inside information in an appropriate time and manner. This article also will be examined the existing disclosure rules that apply to equity shares in Kuwait as compared to the UK’s disclosure regimes as examples of developed countries.   Keywords: Disclosure rules, Inside Information, Kuwait securities market. &nbsp
