Question Middle East, daylight savings?

[Jupitus]

Guys - I'm trying to find out if countries in the middle east adopt any form of daylight savings each year... specifically I'm interested in:

Bahrain
Qatar
Oman
Kuwait
Abu Dhabi
Saudi


Cheers!

Assuming you are basing some kind of business decision on that data DOUBLE CHECK IT.

 

[Jupitus]

Nah - just a first run at looking at supporting customers here during Middle Eastern exchange opening times.... as it is we miss a whole day per week so that bit's almost trivial

 

[Chilly]

selling the data feeds from ME exchanges?

 

[Jupitus]

Yup - as a bundle and as per my list above. Have Dubai futures on right now, the rest (equities, at least) will be on in a couple of months.

Jup. The middle east's close proximity to the tropic of cancer means the variation in length of day is small and thus daylight saving is kinda pointless.

Just tell your staff they have to work from 8 till 8, they'll be so happy they'll all leave......

Well the Equities and blah blah markets would be on now if a certain group had done there jobs on time.

Ours wouldn't know how...

 

[Chilly]

Ouch. Ours are technically competant but are beurocratically constrained.

 

[Jupitus]

Ours are technically incompetent AND beurocratically constrained from becoming otherwise :lol:

Yeah, we don't use daylight savings out there. Makes the time difference a bitch, up to 5 hours.
