Boursa Kuwait has announced a robust 61.12% increase in its net profit for the first half of 2025, reaching KD 15.11 million compared to KD 9.38 million in the same period last year. The significant financial improvement was revealed during a meeting of the company’s Board of Directors on July 29, 2025.

The surge in net profit was largely driven by strong growth in total operating revenues, which rose by 41.13% to KD 24.20 million in the first six months of 2025, up from KD 17.15 million in the first half of 2024. Operating profit also witnessed a notable increase of 59.53%, reaching KD 18.47 million compared to KD 11.58 million in the corresponding period last year.

Earnings per share saw a similar uptick, rising from 46.71 fils in H1 2024 to 75.27 fils by June 30, 2025—a 61.12% gain.

As of June 30, 2025, Boursa Kuwait’s total assets stood at KD 123.87 million, reflecting a 9.26% growth over the KD 113.37 million reported a year earlier. Shareholders’ equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company also increased by 12.68%, reaching KD 66.20 million from KD 58.75 million in 2024.

“These results reaffirm Boursa Kuwait’s capacity to navigate complex global economic and geopolitical conditions while maintaining sustainable growth,” said Mr. Bader Nasser Al-Kharafi, Chairman of Boursa Kuwait. “Revenue diversification and improved liquidity levels have strengthened investor confidence and enhanced the exchange’s operational efficiency and resilience.”

Al-Kharafi added that the performance is a significant milestone in Boursa Kuwait’s development plans to modernize market infrastructure, diversify investment instruments, and attract local and international investors. He emphasized the company’s growing role as a key driver of Kuwait’s economic transformation and a core contributor to the nation’s goal of becoming a leading financial and investment hub in the region.
