Latest Updates

The Central Bank of Kuwait lowered its key discount rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% in September 2025, its first rate cut in a year. The move followed the US Federal Reserve’s reduction and signals of further easing later this year. Kuwait’s monetary policy is shaped by the dinar’s peg to a basket of currencies, with the US dollar carrying significant weight.
