Kuwait boosts foreign investment inflow
Kuwait's openness to attracting global companies has led to a significant influx of foreign investment. The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation signed the Shahine project agreement valued at $16 billion, which is the largest foreign direct investment in the country's history. The project aims to diversify sources of funding and strengthen the participation of international investors, including leasing crude oil pipelines, resulting in cash returns of $7.85 billion. Foreign direct investment flows into Kuwait in 2025 reached approximately 126.4 million Kuwaiti dinars (about $412.4 million), bringing its total to over 5.4 billion dinars (around $17.6 billion). Currently, Kuwait ranks fifth in the Arab world and 52nd globally in the 2025 Investment Climate Index. The efforts of global companies like Blackstone, Franklin Templeton, and Goldman Sachs to establish regional offices there reflect Kuwait's desire to boost its economy and diversify sources of income by attracting more international investments.
