Kuwait's economy set to grow 2.6% in 2025: IMF
IMF projects Kuwait's economy to grow 2.6% in 2025, driven by rising oil output and resilient non-oil growth, with risks from oil price volatility and geopolitical tensions.
The International Monetary Fund forecasts Kuwait's economy to grow by 2.6% in 2025, supported by higher oil production following the unwinding of OPEC+ cuts and robust non-oil sector growth. Non-oil growth is projected at 2.7%, while the economy faces risks from fluctuations in oil prices, OPEC+ production quotas, global growth shifts, and geopolitical tensions. Banks maintain strong capital and liquidity buffers, but the outlook remains sensitive to oil market developments.
