Companies whose shares are traded on the Saudi bourse are now also required to disclose payments to their highest-paid five executives, the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) said on the bourse website. The regulator said in November that listed firms would have to comply with corporate governance rules on disclosures in reports by their boards as of 2009. Adherence to corporate governance regulations has been voluntary since they were issued in 2006. Boards of listed firms had been required to name other firms where their members were also serving as directors.
