The Central Bank of Kuwait has its headquarters on Abdullah Al Ahmad Street in Sharq. Boursa Kuwait is on Mubarak Al Kabeer Street in the same district. The Capital Markets Authority, which regulates securities activities in Kuwait, is in Al Hamra Tower on Al Shuhada Street. If your own work touches reporting, audit, controls or regulated activity, courses in finance and compliance are where to begin.
