Privatised in 2016 and since upgraded to emerging-market status by the principal index providers. The Premier Market carries the deepest single-stock liquidity in the Gulf outside Saudi Arabia.
On Boursa Kuwait specifically, eligibility turns on where the name sits across the market’s three segments. Premier Market constituents — the large banks, financials and telecoms that anchor the Premier Market and All Share indices — carry the free float and daily turnover, deepest in the Gulf outside Saudi Arabia, that support a higher loan-to-value; Main Market and Auction Market names are financed more selectively. The market’s 2016 privatisation and its subsequent upgrade to emerging-market status by the principal index providers have added passive and foreign flow to the larger names, which reads through to how cleanly a line can be financed.
