Boursa Kuwait’s Head of Markets Sector, Noura Al-Abdulkareem, was invited as a speaker on a panel, entitled "Funding, Infrastructure, Capital Markets and Responsible Finance Initiatives in Kuwait" on Tuesday, October 20, the second day of the two-day virtual forum.
The IFN Kuwait Forum, organized by REDMoney Group, provides market participants with an opportunity to come together and discuss how to advance and develop the financial services industry in Kuwait. The sessions enabled participants to share in-depth analysis, experiences, information and views and allowed market players and regulators to provide bi-lateral feedback and suggestions on how the industry can be taken forward as well as what steps should be taken by regulators and how market players can assist.
Speaking on the panel, Al-Abdulkareem shed light on major Boursa Kuwait initiatives that have given the company a key role as the engine of growth and development in the Kuwaiti capital market and helped cement its reputation as a leading stock exchange in the Middle East.
“As a vital player in Kuwait’s economy, Boursa Kuwait has made remarkable contributions toward driving growth and development in the domestic financial sector, successfully executing multi-phase market development plans over the years. Our efforts have yielded milestone achievements that include the privatization and listing of the company, the inclusion of Kuwait in the emerging market indices of leading index providers, an array of investment products and services, the rollout of wide-ranging regulatory reforms, as well as initiatives aimed at adding new asset classes, with an overarching objective of creating a robust capital markets ecosystem in the country,” said Al-Abdulkareem.
“The IFN Kuwait OnAir Forum 2020 provided us an excellent platform to highlight Boursa Kuwait’s outstanding accomplishments that enabled us to transform Kuwait into an attractive investment destination that offers promising opportunities for both individual and institutional investors as well as all capital market stakeholders. The event also afforded us a valuable opportunity to gain deeper insights into emerging trends in the financial sector and customer needs,” she added.
