Latest Updates

The Central Bank of Kuwait held its key discount rate at 3.5% in December 2025, the third and final rate cut this year. The move followed the US Federal Reserve’s reduction and signals that rates could hold at the current level. Kuwait’s monetary policy is shaped by the dinar’s peg to a basket of currencies, with the US dollar carrying significant weight.
