Kuwait's Islamic firm Investment Dar denied a press report on Wednesday that it was in talks to sell a stake in its real estate affiliate Oqyana.
Kuwait's bourse earlier suspended trading in Dar's shares seeking clarification after local daily Al-Wasat said in an unsourced report that Oqyana was in talks to sell a 30 percent stake.
"The company did not hold any negotiations to sell its shares in Oqyana," Dar said in a statement on the bourse website.
The bourse said trading in Dar's shares will be resumed shortly after the clarification.
