He added that organizing such training programs comes as a part of the constant pursuit by all Arab and international securities regulators to adopt a risk management approach with regard to each regulatory and supervisory functions and to improve and develop the regulatory ability of their employees with regard to identifying the types of risks facing the financial markets, the ways how to address and manage and reduce the negative effects on the markets and their participations.
