Gulf
No new items in the window. Checked individually: the Saudi CMA's newsroom (fetched directly — latest items are 21 Oct, already in scope for yesterday's edition; nothing dated 22–23 Oct); the DFSA's news page (fetched directly — most recent item remains 15 Oct); ADGM's announcements (fetched directly — the only items in the window, a 20 Oct London delegation visit and a 21 Oct office opening, are not rule changes); the UAE CMA's media centre (still a dead page); DFM's circulars list and Nasdaq Dubai's circular list (via search — latest entries are from May 2026); and SAMA, CBUAE, QFMA, Kuwait CMA/Boursa Kuwait via targeted dated search — nothing dated 22–23 October found for any of them.
Israel
No material items in the window. Checked via search (ISA's own site remains an empty shell): the ISA's live drafts (the past-performance disclosure draft and the one-off advisory/alternative-assets directive, both unchanged since their comment periods closed); the Bank of Israel's Banking Supervision Department (nothing past the already-known Directive 490 on small/new banks and the e-banking Directive 367 amendment, both from mid-2026); TASE (no circular found past its January Monday–Friday trading-week change and June bond-index reform); and the Herzog Law and Lexology trackers — nothing dated October found.
Africa
No material items in the window. Checked via search (JSE, FSCA, Nigeria SEC and Egypt FRA pages remain dead ends from this environment): the Government Gazette for FSCA/JSE notices (the most recent, Board Notice 973 of 2026 proposing JSE Listings Requirements amendments on corporate governance, is from 14 August and already stale); the SARB's exchange-control circulars (latest substantive batch from April, lifting discretionary-allowance and cross-border card limits); Egypt's FRA and Official Gazette; Nigeria's SEC/CBN (nothing past January's Circular 26-1 on minimum capital and June's T+1 settlement move); Kenya's CBK (the draft National Payment System Bill, consultation closed 9 Oct, still awaiting Cabinet/Treasury action); Morocco's AMMC and Bank Al-Maghrib; and the Mondaq/Lexology trackers — nothing newer found.
