Boursa Kuwait, formerly the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE), is the national stock market of Kuwait.
History[]
Although several share holding companies (such as NBK in 1952) existed in Kuwait prior to the creation of the Kuwait Stock Exchange, it was not until October 1962 that a law was passed to organize the country's stock market. In April 1977, the stock exchange was initiated and it was named as the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) in 1983.[1][2]
The stock market in Kuwait is regulated by four bodies: the KSE, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Kuwait.[1] The KSE is also among the first and largest stock exchanges in the Persian Gulf region.[citation needed]
Its name changed to Boursa Kuwait in 2016.[citation needed]
Boursa Kuwait is a member of the Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges.[citation needed]
