Kuwait’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) has introduced new measures to develop the core infrastructure of the national stock exchange, its chairman Ahmad Al-Melhem said on Wednesday.

He said that the endeavor involves Kuwait’s stock exchange, known as Boursa Kuwait, along with CMA and Kuwait Clearing Company, which provides services to the bourse.
Executive Director and Chief Commissioner at CMA Dr Ahmed Abdulrahman Al-Melhem presided over the meeting with Assistant Secretary General for Economic and Development Affairs at the GCC Secretariat General Khalifa bin Saeed Al-Ebri and representatives of the GCC Secretariat General in attendance.

In addition, Al-Ebri delivered a speech during which he expressed gratitude to HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, HH the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the Kuwaiti people. “The challenges facing stock markets in the region are the result of the existing political conditions,” the Kuwaiti official added, citing a deal signed between financial markets in the Gulf region that aims to develop a closer rapport among inspection bodies.
