The organization oversees 18 exchanges and 8 Clearing Houses, working towards harmonizing regulations and promoting market development. This membership provides Sahm Capital the chance to collaborate with other significant players in the financial market, leveraging shared expertise to strengthen investment strategies in the Arab capital markets. Sahm Capital, founded in 2022 and licensed by the Capital Market Authority of Saudi Arabia, has made notable progress, including the launch of the Sahm trading app in December 2023, which has quickly gained over 1 million users. This expansion signifies the company's dedication to enhancing the financial landscape in the MENA region and accessing both regional and international investors. The Chairman of the Board, Steven Chou, expressed the sentiment that this achievement marks a crucial milestone for the firm, emphasizing their commitment to innovating and advancing the region's capital markets through this newfound partnership with AFCM.
