Kuwait

Ekonomi ve sektör genel bakışı

Kuwait is a high-income Gulf state whose economy is dominated by petroleum and natural gas, which together account for more than half of GDP and over 90% of export revenues. The country holds approximately 7% of the world's proven oil reserves and is a member of OPEC. The government manages the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds estimated at over $800 billion in assets. Kuwait Vision 2035 (New Kuwait) aims to diversify the economy away from hydrocarbons toward finance, trade, and logistics, though progress has been constrained by political friction between the executive and the National Assembly. The Kuwaiti dinar is pegged to an undisclosed basket of currencies and is consistently one of the highest-valued currency units in the world.

Yabancı yatırımcı erişimi

Kuwait does not offer a general residency-by-real-estate-purchase scheme. Residency for expatriates is typically tied to employer sponsorship (the kafala system). The new KDIPA long-term investor residency (2026) is available to licensed foreign investors meeting the KDIPA capital and employment thresholds. There is no pathway to Kuwaiti citizenship for expatriates under standard circumstances; naturalisation is extremely restricted by law.
