Kuwait cuts discount rate by 50 bps
The Central Bank of Kuwait has cut its key discount rate for the sixth time since October 8, 2008, by 50 basis points to 2.5% to support growth in the Gulf country's non-oil sectors as inflation is seen staying low, Kuna has reported. The reduction would help create a suitable climate for banking credit growth, CBK governor Sheikh Salem Abdulaziz Al-Sabah said.
