kuwait's stock market has done pretty well in the past few months.e showing this amazing rise. at the seen this surge highest level since 2015 or so. it has been pretty solid. when it comes to stock markets across the gulf, after the fed rate hike, we saw it pop up as well. does that mean that this rally in the markets could be sustained? >> i think so. there are two elements. one is the oil price. it has been quite volatile of late. people have gotten used to this. they're gone back to the stock market and our training on the fundamentals rather than negative expectations. furthermore, it is the process of diversification out of the oil extraction factor. this favors the companies across the spectrum and this is reflected into the prices as well. >> when you look at some of the key metrics for debt, inflation and the peg which has been around for a few decades, is it time for a rethink for saudi arabia and qatar? we a seat a lot of pressure on the dollar. >> at present, i will think there is any need to change this policy. the fact that it serves th
