Q: To what extent has Kuwait’s investment and business climate improved over the past year? Has investor interest in Kuwait increased in tandem with these improvements?
A: Kuwait’s investment and business climate has steadily progressed, with the government placing this initiative at the core of its reform policy priorities. [This has] led to the establishment of the Permanent Committee for Streamlining Business Environment & Enhancing Competitiveness in the State of Kuwait, headed by the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority [KDIPA], to coordinate national efforts to improve the business climate with concerned government entities, the private sector and civil society representatives.
