In this episode, we welcome back Issam Altawari to unpack Kuwaitโ€™s political and economic crossroads.

We explore Kuwaitโ€™s unique political dynamics, the challenges of reform and the countryโ€™s efforts to diversify beyond oil.ย 

From parliamentary deadlock to infrastructure and tourism projects, citizenship issues, and the role of the sovereign wealth fund, the conversation dives deep into whatโ€™s holding Kuwait back and what could unlock its potential.

We also discuss Kuwaitโ€™s geopolitical positioning, relations with the US, and its approach to climate change and ESG, as well as the urgent need to create a business-friendly environment to attract FDI.
