MIDEAST STOCKS-Kuwait banks surge, DP World hits 15-wk high | Markets | Reuters

Banks in Kuwait rose on Thursday after reports that the government gave a green light to local lenders to finance a 30 billion dinar development plan and is prepared to back them with guarantees.

Most other Middle East markets also closed higher, backed by higher oil prices and an upbeat performance of Asian markets amid average volumes during the month of Ramadan. [MKTS/GLOB]
