RIYADH: A rise in operating revenues and profitability drove Boursa Kuwait’s net profit to 15.11 million Kuwaiti dinars ($49.4 million) in the first half of 2025 — a 61.12 percent annual increase.
The growth was underpinned by a 41.13 percent year-on-year rise in total operating revenues to 24.20 million dinars, alongside a 59.53 percent boost in operating profit to 18.47 million dinars, according to a release.
Earnings per share surged in tandem, rising from 46.71 fils to 75.27 fils by June 30, while total assets reached 123.87 million dinars, reflecting a 9.26 percent increase year-on-year.
Shareholders’ equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company climbed 12.68 percent to 66.20 million dinars.
The Boursa’s growth aligns with the World Bank’s forecast for Kuwait’s non-oil sector, which is expected to expand by 1.6 percent in 2025, supported by renewed real credit growth and large-scale infrastructure projects such as the Northern Special Economic Zone and Silk City.
