The company is committed to the continuous development of the market, adopting international standards and practices as well as providing qualitative information across multiple channels, raising the status of our market and driving investments to it.”
Boursa Kuwait takes into account the diverse needs of its various stakeholders and plays a key role in the stability of the Kuwaiti capital market by ensuring that its participants are informed of the latest developments in the wider investment community.

Since its inception, Boursa Kuwait has worked diligently to create a thriving capital market that attracts local and foreign investors through a broad spectrum of new products and services, infrastructure upgrades, as part of its multi-phase market development plans.
The company was fully privatized in 2019, the first government entity in the country to successfully undergo the process, bringing about greater levels of efficiency. Boursa Kuwait also self-listed in September 2020 and has made great strides in sustaining its operations and business continuity in the face of uncertainties and challenges.
Over the past few years, the company has rolled out numerous market reforms and new initiatives as part of its comprehensive multi-phase market development (MD) plans. The company also showcases some of the standout listed companies and the investment opportunities that reside in the Kuwaiti capital market through its series of Roadshows and Corporate Days, putting these companies in touch with some of the world’s leading investment firms and financial institutions and highlighting their financial health and business strategies and outlooks, in an effort to help investors gain an in-depth understanding of the benefits and opportunities of investing in Kuwaiti companies.
