KUWAIT CITY: The Kuwait Stock Exchange yesterday suspended trading in the shares of 17 listed firms for failing to report their annual financial results on time, a statement said. The companies violated a rule that requires them to post their results of the previous year within three months. A number of the companies had already been banned from trading for previous periods for the same reason. KSE, the third largest Arab bourse in market value after Saudi Arabia and Qatar, lists around 204 companies. AFP
