well... they should have loong time ago!
They did it because it was needed (regulatory reasons and the current situation) this can give us (investors) the opportunity and time to review the news and current situation!

Our market lacks regularity and come to think of it it could create more chaos or it could solve the problems... only time can tell.

The market has been going down for quiet some time, and this halt was needed to be done and maybe for more than three days.. this is to help the unexplained downward trend that has been killing our market. Look at real estate sector is not as badly effected as other sectors, specially the ones that deals internationally.


Think of the following problems:

1. Liquidity Issues: Foreign investors had money invested in our market which is good, systematic, and not that expensive... they withdrew money and caused liquidity issues

2. Options and derivatives problem (Gulf Bank?)

3. Foreign investors started selling their shares in Kuwaiti Market to make up for their losses outside Kuwait or to simply grab a better opportunity.
