Kuwait Stock Exchange on Flickr)


Pictured above: a stock trader watches his portfolio, and streams live stock quotes to his labtop. I hope he made some money!

Update: You’ll notice 3 portraits in the top left section of the pictures. These men are: Prince Sheikh Saad, the late Sheikh Jaber, and Amir of Kuwait.

When was the Kuwait Stock Exchange Founded?

The State of Kuwait founded the Kuwait stock market exchange (or KSE for short) in 1962.

The KSE is divided into 10 sectors:

  • banking
  • investment
  • insurance
  • real estate
  • industrial
  • services
  • food
  • non-kuwaities
  • mutual funds
  • parallel market

If you’re interested in investing in the Kuwait stock market exchange, visit the KSE trading info page. In order to conduct accurate valuations, you need to convert Kuwaiti dinar (KWD), the Kuwait national currency, into US dollars.

Mexican Stock Exchange,


located in a beautiful area of Mexico City, looks like a giant glass covered Nintendo Wii. And as if that weren't enough evidence to claim the #3 spot, they went and planted one huge palm tree between the two buildings. Perfect spot for a 3 o'clock siesta.

Shenzhen Stock Exchange


This building is one of three stock exchanges in the People's Republic of China, but look at this thing! I'm pretty sure it's a Transformer in disguise. ShenzhenBuildingTron is just lying in wait for Godzilla to mosey on over from Japan, and then he'll spring into action with his flaming derivatives-analysis sword!

Bombay Stock Exchange


is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. It also has more listed companies than any other stock exchange in the world with 4,800. The building is three tiers of madness ranging from small parking garage-style structure, to rotund dome shaped building, and then ending with a menacing and towering concave skyscraper.
