Pictured above: a stock trader watches his portfolio, and streams live stock quotes to his labtop. I hope he made some money!

Update: You’ll notice 3 portraits in the top left section of the pictures. These men are: Prince Sheikh Saad, the late Sheikh Jaber, and Amir of Kuwait.

When was the Kuwait Stock Exchange Founded?

The State of Kuwait founded the Kuwait stock market exchange (or KSE for short) in 1962.

The KSE is divided into 10 sectors:

• banking
• investment
• insurance
• real estate
• industrial
• services
• food
• non-kuwaities
• mutual funds
• parallel market
