Holy smokes, the privately negotiated deals on Boursa Kuwait have been on fire! From the start of the year to the closing bell last Wednesday, a whopping 68.8 million Kuwaiti dinars worth of share shenanigans went down, covering a staggering 117.04 million shares. That's some serious market action, my friend!
Now, you might wonder, what companies are involved in this wild ride? Well, buckle up, because 41 private deals have been executed across nine listed companies, including the almighty National Bank of Kuwait (NBK), Injazat, Warba Capital, Mezzan Holding, Digits, Kuwait Hotels, Commercial Bank of Kuwait (CBK), Kuwait Cement, and reports suggest that Al-Jarida daily has the scoop.

Now, let's take a quick peek at what's been happening with some of these bigwigs. Warba Capital, a.k.a Warba Bank, has been making moves lately. They've doubled their paid-up capital, bringing it up to a whopping 436.7 million dinars as of May 2025[ brass tacks 1]. That's some serious cash flow, if you ask me! On the other hand, NBK and Injazat haven't publicly disclosed specific details of their private deals or capital changes within this timeframe[ brass tacks 2]. Still, NBK, a banking powerhouse in Kuwait, is likely involved in some serious equity transactions given the market's hype.
It's worth mentioning that other companies like Boursa Kuwait itself, listed on the Premier Market, have shown impressive growth but without specific details on private share deals or changes in share distribution[ brass tacks 5]. Keep an eye on these guys, too!
In sum, from January to late June 2025, the top privately negotiated deals on Boursa Kuwait have generated 68.8 million dinars in value, with Warba Bank leading the capital dance due to its 100% capital increase. While specific details on private share deals and changes in share distribution for NBK, Injazat, and other companies are scarce, they're prevalent players in the market and likely engaged in ongoing equity transactions. Don't miss out on the action, folks! This market's hotter than a summer sun in the Kuwaiti desert!
The private trading deals on Boursa Kuwait involve not only financial institutions like the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) but also companies from other sectors, such as Warba Capital, in the industry of banking and insurance.
