Material changes
There have been no significant changes or material legal changes. We have however added an extra comment for recommendation lists and advice where the answer is Grey zone/YES to emphasise that there should be no advice on locally listed securities. This is to reflect that tolerated practice allowing limited, discreet Crossborder activity will not likely apply to advice relating to securities listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.
Non-material changes
Some comments and content have been slightly reworded (without introducing material changes) to reflect the regulatory situation/current interpretation of the regulatory framework more accurately.
