Kuwait has called for the launch of a Gulf¹ monetary² union and single currency - due in 2010 - to be delayed so it could address "technical issues".

科威特要求定于2010年进行的海湾货币同盟和单一货币活动进行推迟，以便解决其“技术问题”。

Kuwait is one of four Gulf nations to join the union

Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain signed an accord in June to create a joint³ monetary union council as a prelude⁴ to（作为……前奏） a Gulf central bank.

This would be followed by the launch of a single currency, though observers said the target date was optimistic.

United Arab Emirates and Oman withdrew from the project earlier this year.

These withdrawals⁵ dealt a blow to further economic integration⁶（经济一体化） in the oil-rich region.

The UAE objected to the Saudi capital Riyadh being chosen to host the future central bank, and said it would be keeping its own currency, the dirham（迪拉姆）, which would remain pegged⁷（固定的） to the dollar.

Meanwhile Oman said it was not ready to meet the preconditions（先决条件）.
