Al-Shal: Foreign Bank Investment at 4.535B Dinars
The volume of foreign investment in the Kuwaiti banking sector listed on the stock exchange declined to approximately 4.535 billion Kuwaiti dinars (about 13.97 billion US dollars) by the end of the third quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 12.5% compared to the end of 2025, when the value was 5.182 billion dinars. The banking sector index also fell by 2.7%, and foreign contributions in seven out of nine banks declined during the same period, with their ownership primarily concentrated in five banks, most notably the National Bank of Kuwait and Boubyan Bank. These changes in foreign investments have impacted market liquidity and the overall performance of the sector, with a trend toward divestment and exiting positions driven by geopolitical events and their connection to the index performance.
