A specialized economic report revealed that the liquidity of the Kuwait Stock Exchange in February reached approximately **2.853 billion Kuwaiti dinars** (about **8.7 billion US dollars**).
The **Al-Shall Consulting** report, issued today, Saturday, explained that the average daily trading value during the past month amounted to about **167.8 million dinars** (approximately **516.8 million dollars**), marking an increase of **84.4 percent** compared to the average daily trading value in January, which stood at **91 million dinars** (about **280.28 million dollars**).
The report indicated that the performance of February 2025 was more active compared to January 2025. The **Premier Market Index** rose by **4.7 percent**, the **Main Market Index** increased by **1.1 percent**, and the **General Market Index** (reflecting the performance of both markets) rose by **4.1 percent**. Additionally, the **Main Market 50 Index** increased by **1.6 percent**.
The report added that the total liquidity of the stock exchange in the first two months of the current year (i.e., over 38 working days) reached approximately **4.581 billion dinars** (about **14.10 billion dollars**). Thus, the average daily trading value for the period was about **127.3 million dinars** (approximately **392 million dollars**), reflecting an increase of **92.4 percent** compared to the average daily trading value for the same period in 2024, which was **66.2 million dinars** (about **203.8 million dollars**).
The report highlighted that liquidity trends in February still indicate that half of the listed companies received only **2.9 percent** of the total liquidity, including 50 companies that secured just **0.9 percent** of the liquidity, while three companies saw no trading activity at all.
It further noted that, regarding relatively small and liquid companies, **12 companies** (including two in the Premier Market) with a market value of about **4.9 percent** of the total market value of listed companies accounted for **21.4 percent** of the stock exchange's liquidity. This means that a significant portion of liquidity activity continues to exclude nearly half of the listed companies, while strongly favoring companies with relatively small market values.
The **Kuwait Stock Exchange** was established in April 2014 and is responsible for managing securities market operations in Kuwait.
