The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) would introduce caps on how much stock investors can buy with borrowed funds in order to rein in margin trading, the regulator said (pdf)<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

the new regulations \u2014 drafted by the FRA\u2019s advisory committee (pdf)<\/a> \u2014 would curb how much a broker can lend to a single client to buy stock on margin.<\/p>\n

The measures could also include a cap on how much a single company\u2019s shares can be exposed, FRA Deputy Chairman Islam Azzam said following a meeting between the advisory body, EGX representatives, and clearinghouse MCDR.<\/p>\n

The current proposals would not permit any single investor to purchase on margin more than 1% of a company\u2019s market cap or 2% of shares on freefloat. A single company would also not be permitted to have over 15% of its outstanding shares held on margin, or 25% of its publicly-traded shares, whichever is higher. Some 90% of public companies currently don\u2019t exceed those limits, according to Azzam.<\/p>\n
