Generally there must be a good Bond Market to handle bonds issuance both on primary and secondary basis.
The regulations related to bonds issuance and their trading must be 'corporate as well as investors' friendly and must ensure the security of investors' money.

As Kuwait is an Islamic country and most of the projects are under the control of the Government. In this scenario, Sukuks could be a good option as these will provide riba free income and back by the cash flow stream of government related projects and assets.
If you're suggesting that corporations in Kuwait issue corporate bonds with high interest rate, I don't agree with this strategy and I think it will not happen on a wide scale in Kuwait. I suggest instead to go for Sukuk investments whether they are backed by government projects or corporations. Those Sukuk are compliant with Islamic Shari^ah and are not based on Riba (unlike corporate or government bond). Many people are looking for such Halal alternative investment vechiles in the Arab countries. All those corporations need to do is to start SPV companies (special purpose vehicle) based on the future mega projects they have and involve the public in funding them.
