Kuwait's bourse slumped to a seven-month low after members of parliament again boycotted a session of the country's assembly on Tuesday, foiling an attempt to swear in a new cabinet and further highlighting the political travails hampering the state.
The move, the second such boycott in a week, makes the assembly's dissolution and further elections - Kuwait has seen eight governments come and go in just six years - more likely.
The political stagnation is blamed for delaying much needed economic development, with the head of Kuwait's largest bank slamming the deadlock last month in a rare public outburst for the Gulf Arab region.
