The offering is the second and final stage of a privatization process that started in February, when the markets regulator sold 44% of the company to a consortium of domestic and international investors.
- Boursa Kuwait will be the second in the Gulf to be publicly traded after Dubai’s.
- The consortium that bought the stake earlier this year comprised the Athens Stock Exchange, National Investments Company, First Investment Company and Arzan Financial Group.
- After the offering is completed, Kuwait’s Public Institution for Social Security will retain the remaining 6% in the company.
- Kuwait’s main equity index is up about 24% this year, the most within major peers in the region, amid bets of an upgrade from frontier to major emerging-markets gauges.
