"Kuwait Infrastructure Report Q4 2015" Published

Positive regulatory changes and a commitment to infrastructure spending as spel t out in the country's latest five-year plan suppor t our view of moderate industry growth. Yet, as the long-delayed Kuwait International Airport expansion project goes back to tender, the business environment needs to improve before the country's great potential can be fully realised. W e will therefore wait for genuine project momentum before mak ing significant adjustments to our forecasts. B etween 201 5 and 20 24, BMI forecast s t he value of the Kuwaiti construction industry to increase by an average 4.2% annually, taking it from US D 3. 7 bn to US D 7.3 bn.

Key Trends And Developments

A foreign direct investment (FDI) law - the Direct Investment Promotion Law - aimed at improving Kuwait's business environment and removing obstacles to entry has been announced and should underpin private investment growth. This will support the government's KWD14bn (USD47.2bn) spending on infrastructure projects outlined for 2015 - double that of 2014 - part of the KWD34bn (USD116bn) spending promised as part of a five-year development plan that will begin in April 2015 and cover 521 key projects, including large projects such as 45,000 housing units, a metro and railway system and a refinery.
