Kuwait scraps massive Dow Chemical joint venture

Dow confirmed reports of the cancellation, saying its partners in the deal verbally informed it of the decision by Kuwait's top energy body, the Supreme Petroleum Council.

The move to scrap the petrochemical venture, which was to be known as "K-Dow," is a severe blow to Dow which had planned to use some of the proceeds to fund its acquisition of Rohm & Haas Co.
