At the same time, we learn that, on average, traders in the top 10 countries sent six new deposits per month to their trading account in October. That is fractionally lower than the 6.3 deposits registered in September.

So, in which country are traders depositing most often? In Kuwait, each trader sent a new deposit to their trading account 7.5 times on average. Shortly behind was Qatar, with 7.3 deposits per month from each trader. Saudi Arabia was catching up to Qatar with 6.8 deposits per month.

The top 3 positions in this new ranking were dominated by Middle East countries. Although hampered by conflict and low oil prices, the financial market in the region continues to show resilience and steady growth.

For this reason, the Finance Magnates Intelligence Department has launched a new project, creating a set of indices encompassing various aspects of the Online Trading industry. These indices will provide you with unique data points gathered by our analysts that will serve as a valuable knowledge base for your decision making.
