Lying at the tip of the Arabian Gulf, Kuwait is a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), sitting on large proven oil reserves, and has an economy rivalling some of the world’s strongest, backed by years of accumulated budget surpluses. Supported by advantageous financial conditions and tight regulations from the country’s central bank, Kuwait’s banking sector remains secure despite economic strife elsewhere in the region.

Founded in 1973, Kuwait International Bank (KIB) has grown to become one of the country’s most active institutions – especially within the Islamic finance sector, after it became fully sharia-compliant in 2007. Massoud Antoun, General Manager and Head of International Banking at KIB, spoke to World Finance about the country’s changing financial sector, how KIB is playing a part in the national development plan – through which Kuwait is to spend $100bn – and how the bank is growing its international correspondent banking network, while holding its own in a highly competitive environment.

The Kuwaiti banking sector comprises of 16 conventional banks – including 11 foreign conventional banks, six Islamic banks – including one foreign Islamic bank, and one specialised industrial bank. The Kuwaiti banking sector is solid, robust and remains relatively unaffected by the regional turmoil. It continues to benefit from a favourable business environment characterised by a strong economy, the vigilant supervision of the Central Bank of Kuwait, and the vast nation’s oil wealth and  reserves.

Above all, the Kuwaiti banking system is highly regulated and supervised by the Central Bank of  Kuwait, regularly evaluating the performance and strength of each bank based on the CAMEL/BCOM rating system. Already, the Basel III framework has been introduced, and requires higher capital ratios and improved leverage positions than already in place. The full Basel III capital requirements will be  gradually and fully implemented by all banks in Kuwait.

The Islamic banking model is cementing a prominent position in the local banking sector. Five of the 10 Kuwaiti commercial banks operate under Islamic sharia law. The market seems to have spoken in favour of the prudent and transparent nature of Islamic banking. Furthermore, Kuwaiti banks play an important role in facilitating the $100bn national development plan that is currently in motion.

The endeavour aims to bolster the economy through a series of mega projects that will see Kuwait establishing itself as a major attractive market in the region. At KIB, this period is considered a special opportunity to employ the innovative structures already in place at the bank towards the vision pursued by the government.

K-pop:

An enjoyable music genre from South Korea that some people seem to love to ruin for others.

1. People claim it is the best music ever and much better than American music, when they know damn well kpop was heavily influenced by American music. But delusional fans constantly go around being hypocritical by saying its okay when kpop stars rip of other artists, but go batshit when other people steal from kpop artists.

2. Crazy fangirls tend to claim guys as theirs and become suicidal when they learn their "Oppa" has a girlfriend he loves and does not give a shit about said fangirl. Said fangirls tend to generalize the Korean race and say Korean guys as a whole are the sexiest asian guys when they should know that is a creepy generalization. They also think all other celebrities from other countries are ugly compared to Korean stars.

3. About 65% of fans do not give two shits about South Korea, and if it was destroyed tomorrow, they would ask if (insert Korean celebrity here) is okay instead of thinking about the millions of respectable and innocent South Koreans who are not famous.

4. People who enjoy the genre have their nice kpop experience ruined by stupid people who do these things mentioned above. JUST LIKE HOW IT IS BEING RUINED FOR ME!

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP GIVING KPOP A BAD NAME!!

Since its release in mid-July 2012, the highly entertaining music video has spawned hundreds of parodies and copycat dance videos on YouTube and surpassed Justin Bieber’s single “Baby” as the most watched video on YouTube with over one billion views as of December 21st, 2012.

Origin

The song “Gangnam Style” was written, produced, and recorded as the lead single of PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1 the sixth studio album of South Korean singer and rapper PSY, who is best known for his quick-witted sense of humor and comical dance moves. The song was released on July 15th, 2012 along with the music video via PSY’s official YouTube channel.

Upon its release, the song took off on virtually all Korean billboard charts, portal search sites and online music stores, but it began garnering international attention after the music video went viral on YouTube during the third week of July 2012. The video continued gaining viral momentum at an average rate of more than nine million views per day in the span of two months, surpassing Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” to reach the number one position on the YouTube Top 100 Music Videos chart during the last week of August. By mid-September, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” overtook LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” as the most liked video on the site with more than 1.6 million likes.

The Horse Dance

The mass appeal of the music video has been attributed to its signature dance move known as “the horse-riding dance,” which combines the stylistic elements of shuffle dancing and hand movements resembling the posture of a horseback rider.
