科威特对上市公司放宽政策

           

海湾国际金融监管机构表示，科威特放宽了对在交易所上市的股份公司的资本政策，以鼓励企业筹集资金，扩大股东基础。

这只是资本市场管理局一系列新规定的一部分，资本市场管理局正在试图振兴低迷的市场活动以及取缔任何可疑交易。

资本市场管理局表示，主要市场的新规则为股份公司只需要每年盈利其资本总额的5%，而不是之前的7.5%。

同时在周六的文件中，资本市场管理局表示，股东资本需要占到总资本的110%，而之前为115%，还要求公司的营业收入占其总收入的75%。

新规则将会促进公司在交易所上市，为公司扩张筹集资本。资本市场管理局表示“这些修正案将会扩大公司的股东基础以及创建更加有效的贸易环境。”

资本市场管理局将会为公司减少资本提供更大的灵活性，同时给他们一个最后的期限做出必要的改变。

相同的规则还包括部分公司希望推出股市。如果董事会希望公司退出，现在可以购买小股东的股票。

撤出股票市场一直是小股东面临的问题，因为当公司推出交易所时，他们无法出售他们的股票。
