Boursa records 19.3 billion dinars liquidity in first nine months of 2025
A specialized economic report revealed that the liquidity of the Kuwait Stock Exchange during the first nine months of 2025, covering 181 business days, reached about 19.355 billion dinars, equivalent to nearly US $58.5 billion.
According to Al-Shall Financial Consulting, the average daily trading value in this period amounted to approximately 106.9 million dinars (around US $324.9 million), almost doubling compared to last year’s daily average of 55.8 million dinars (US $169.6 million), marking an increase of 91.8 percent.
The report highlighted that September recorded stronger activity than August. Trading value and all market indices rose, with the Premier Market up 3.1 percent, the Main Market 5.2 percent, the General Market 3.5 percent, and the Main 50 Index 6.7 percent, reports Al-Rai daily.
Liquidity in September climbed to 2.277 billion dinars (US $6.9 billion), compared with 1.976 billion dinars (US $6.7 billion) in August, reflecting a rise of 15.3 percent. The average daily trading value for September reached about 108.5 million dinars (329.8 million dollars), also higher than August’s 84.1 million dinars (US $282.3 million).
Despite this growth, liquidity remained unevenly distributed. The report indicated that half of the listed companies together attracted only 6.9 percent of total liquidity, while 50 companies, representing roughly 35.7 percent of the market, received just 2.6 percent. One company saw no trading at all during the period.
In contrast, a small group of firms drew significant investor attention. Twelve relatively small and highly liquid companies, whose combined market value represents only 2.7 percent of the total, accounted for around 26 percent of trading activity.
Within this group, two companies with a market value of just 0.4 percent of the exchange’s total managed to attract 13.4 percent of overall liquidity.
The report concluded that while overall trading activity has grown strongly this year, liquidity continues to concentrate in a narrow segment of smaller companies, leaving a large portion of listed firms with limited investor engagement.
