🎙️ EP. 74 — Is Kuwait Falling Behind the Gulf?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we welcome back Issam Altawari to unpack Kuwait’s political and economic crossroads.
We explore Kuwait’s unique political dynamics, the challenges of reform and the country’s efforts to diversify beyond oil.
From parliamentary deadlock to infrastructure and tourism projects, citizenship issues, and the role of the sovereign wealth fund, the conversation dives deep into what’s holding Kuwait back and what could unlock its potential.
We also discuss Kuwait’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.
