The Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) is a regulatory body in the United Arab Emirates responsible for overseeing the securities and commodities markets. Its primary role is to ensure fair trading practices, protect investors, and maintain market integrity. The SCA establishes rules and regulations that govern the activities of market participants, including brokers and listed companies. In addition to regulating the securities market, the SCA also supervises the commodities sector, which includes various physical goods like oil, gold, and agricultural products. By promoting transparency and efficiency, the SCA aims to foster investor confidence and contribute to the overall growth of the UAE's financial markets.
