The power plant at Al-Zour is intended to be the first of many privately backed infrastructure schemes launched in Kuwait in the next few years. Bids have now been submitted for the plant’s development and are under evaluation. MEED will analyse the challenges facing the project and the prospects for its successful and timely execution.
Kuwait’s Capital Market Authority is preparing to privatise Kuwait Stock Exchange, the third-largest bourse in the region, with a capitalisation of $100bn. This would make it only the second exchange in the GCC to be listed. The move is the latest in a series of reforms intended to increase transparency and boost trading activity on the exchange, following the appointment of the new regulator last year. MEED will examine the impact stricter regulation is having on the bourse.
Higher oil prices have helped to buoy the Kuwaiti economy during 2011 and have continued to return budget surpluses and contributing to strong gross domestic product growth (GDP). This is good news on the surface, but is creating distortions in the economy. The surplus accounted for a third of the country’s GDP in 2010. An underdeveloped private sector and unproductive spending are the chief reasons for this. The report will look at what is being done to tackle the imbalances.
Amid a period of unprecedented period of anti-government sentiment and regional instability, Kuwait disbanded its parliament and called fresh elections for 2nd February. The make-up of the new parliament is expected to include a greater number of opposition figures.
