This case concentrates on the problem of corporate governance in the Middle East. A senior official at the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) is looking at a recent trade in which Qatar Telecom (Qtel) acquired National Mobile Telecommunications Company KSC (Wataniya).
The KSE official wondered whether, at the business level, insufficient corporate governance measures had permitted this alleged unequal treatment to pass unchallenged. More importantly, at the exchange amount, the KSE official wondered what actions - if any - could have been taken to improve the rights of minority shareholders.
