Laptop Woes et al.


The laptop has been out of commission.It just won't boot up no more.Although its too early to write a orbituary, I do see myself getting rid of a few hardware (already in process). So with the big weekend (national day -liberation day ) going on heres a few things we didn't cover.


-Etisalat announces Max 3.5 data package

-Kuwait announces salary increase for government employees (both citizens &expats)-the population isn't happy ( what's new)

-Bahrain and UAE are considering revaluation of their respective currency,following increaseing construction worker strikes.

-Boy were we having a time here in Kuwait with a lot of people trying to subscribe to the Ajman Bank IPO (close to $150 million is being raised).

- Qatar Investment Authority is looking to inject money into Royal Bank of Scotland, only this time there has been no explicit solicitation of interest by the bank-this will be interesting to monitor !

That should cover the major items-more soon
