On 2nd April 2026, Boursa Kuwait welcomed the Capital Markets Authority (CMA)’s approval of its proposed rule amendments, alongside the issuance of Resolution No. 38 of 2026 establishing a comprehensive regulatory and legislative framework for bonds and sukuk. The move also includes amendments to the Executive Bylaws of Law No. 7 of 2010.
Boursa Kuwait also issued Resolution No. 1 of 2026, amending its rulebook to incorporate provisions specific to bonds and sukuk. Together, these measures represent a significant addition to the Kuwaiti capital market and constitute a pivotal step toward developing its investment environment and diversifying its instruments in line with international best practices.
An integrated legislative framework covering the full cycle of the platform
The new framework governs the listing of both domestic and foreign issuances, sets out ongoing obligations for issuers and obligors throughout the listing period and clearly defines procedures for delisting and withdrawal, including mechanisms for the treatment of these instruments in relation to their exclusion from market indices.
A new investment opportunity
The significance of this platform extends to investors in Kuwait’s capital market, offering new investment opportunities that were not previously available at this level of regulation and transparency. As listed and tradable instruments on the exchange, bonds and sukuk provide a structured investment option that enhances market efficiency and keeps pace with its development.
