Report to explore regulatory shifts and foreign investment prospects in Kuwait

(MENAFN- Oxford Business Group) German Business Council Kuwait joins Oxford Business Group in upcoming analysis of Kuwait’s evolving economy


Kuwait City, June 2025: Oxford Business Group (OBG) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the German Business Council Kuwait (GBCK) as part of its research efforts for The Report: Kuwait 2025, a forthcoming publication that will provide in-depth coverage of the country’s economic development and diversification strategies. This marks the first collaboration between the two organisations, reinforcing GBCK’s position as a key stakeholder in supporting Kuwait’s investment environment and international business ties.


Now in its 20th year of in-country research, OBG will leverage GBCK’s business insights to enrich its coverage of trends shaping the Kuwaiti economy, with a particular focus on sectors attracting foreign participation. The report will analyse emerging opportunities in areas such as energy transition, financial services, logistics, and digital infrastructure, while also evaluating policy reforms and initiatives supporting economic resilience and private sector expansion.


Fred Saada, board member of the German Business Council Kuwait, welcomed the signing of the agreement and said:


“Our engagement with Oxford Business Group reflects a shared objective to foster transparent dialogue and informed decision-making in Kuwait’s investment landscape. With German businesses actively contributing to key sectors in the country, this partnership comes at an important time as Kuwait accelerates its economic transformation.”


Cristina Mirica, OBG’s Country Director for Kuwait, highlighted the value of GBCK’s participation in the research process.


“GBCK brings relevant perspectives on international business cooperation and regulatory developments. Their contribution will strengthen The Report: Kuwait 2025 by ensuring a well-rounded analysis of the evolving market dynamics and the role of global partnerships in shaping Kuwait’s economic future.”


The partnership comes as Kuwait intensifies its efforts to diversify away from oil and attract long-term investment in non-hydrocarbon sectors. The Report: Kuwait 2025 will explore key legislative changes, evolving business practices, and strategic projects that are reshaping the country’s economic narrative. It will also feature the views of GBCK and its members on market developments and collaboration opportunities between Kuwait and Germany.


The publication will include interviews with leading public and private sector figures, including H.E. Ahmad Al-Awadhi, Minister of Health; Khaled AlShamlan, Group CEO of KFH; H.E. Eng. Noora Al Fassam, Minister of Finance; Sheikh Nawaf S. Al-Sabah, CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Company; and Isam Al Sager, Group CEO of NBK.


By partnering with GBCK, Oxford Business Group expands its network of research contributors and reinforces its role in delivering trusted business intelligence to investors and decision-makers exploring opportunities in Kuwait.
