DLA Piper, a global law firm, has been appointed by the Kuwait Capital Market Authority (CMA) to advise on the privatisation of the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE). The CMA, the third largest bourse by market capitalisation in the Arabian Gulf, will specifically be working with DLA Piper's regional managing partner, Abdul Aziz Al-Yaqout, and the regional head of the corporate practice, Murad Abida on the privatisation.

Following the introduction of the new Capital Market Law in 2010, the privatisation of the KSE is seen as a further significant step to bolster Kuwait's position as a leading financial market in the Middle East.
