Kuwait Economy
The second Gulf War and the occupation of Kuwait in 1990 dealt a fatal blow to Kuwait's ‎economy, squandering more than $ 100 billion in foreign reserves and investments. The total ‎damage to Kuwait as a result of its occupation by Iraq is estimated at more than $ 109.44 ‎billion. The structure of Kuwait's economy did not change after the Persian ‎Gulf‎ War. The country's GDP increased after 1993 after a decline due to the occupation.‎

Kuwait is a small but restricted economy that is heavily dependent on Crude oil exports. The ‎sale of crude oil accounts for 90% of GDP and 75% of the government budget. The global oil ‎crisis of late 1998 and early 1999 reduced the country's budget from $ 5.5 billion to $ 3 billion, ‎creating widespread problems for Kuwait's economy.‎

Of course, much of Kuwait's economic woes over the past 10 years are due to the devastating ‎effects of Iraq's 1990 invasion of the country's oil facilities. Funding for the reconstruction of ‎cities and economic units on the one hand, and the cost of sending US troops to defend Kuwait ‎against Iraq's ambitious threats, has prompted the Kuwaiti government to attract foreign ‎investment in recent years.‎

Kuwait has a good per capita income due to its small population and relatively high GDP. The ‎average per capita income of the Kuwaiti people, which was about $ 12,500 in 1999, rose to ‎about $ 14,000 in 2000. Few people live below the poverty line in this country and most of the ‎families have a relatively prosperous life. The tendency for luxuries and rituals, which is a ‎subculture in Kuwaiti families, stems from this relative social well-being. 

The economic ‎inflation rate in Kuwait is estimated at less than 2%, which is a reasonable rate (it was about ‎‎8.7% in 1997). Kuwait has a workforce of one million, most of whom are immigrants from ‎neighboring countries. Fifty percent of Kuwait's workforce is employed in government and ‎social services, 40 percent in services, and 10 percent in industry and agriculture.‎

Kuwait is a good buyer of food, building materials, vegetables, and clothing from neighboring ‎countries. The official currency of Kuwait is the dinar, which is divided into one thousand ‎scales. Each US dollar is currently equal to 0.28073 Kuwaiti dinars (December 18, 2011) ‎Kuwait is one of the 20 most expensive cities in the world in terms of the high cost of living.‎

After 1991, Kuwait's former economic problems were linked to the devastating consequences ‎of the second Gulf War, and there was an urgent need to change the country's economic ‎structure. The Kuwaiti government enlisted the advice of the World Bank and the International ‎Monetary Fund to follow this path and solve its fundamental economic problems. In 1993, ‎expert delegations from the two organizations visited Kuwait and recommended the ‎implementation of an economic reform program, the main focus of which is:‎

  1. Privatization
  2. ‎Elimination of subsidies and free services, increase of taxes

Kuwait has invested directly and indirectly in European, American, and Asian countries. The ‎largest of these investments are in seven industrialized countries.‎

Kuwait's trade balance in 1997 and 1998 was $ 7.1 billion and $ 641 million, respectively. Also, ‎the current account balance of this country in the above years reached 7.9 billion and 2.9 billion ‎dollars, respectively. Crude oil, petrochemicals, Food products, construction metals, and salt are ‎the main industrial and mineral products of Kuwait.‎

Kuwait also can generate 27 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, all of which are supplied by ‎thermal power plants and consumed by domestic units. Kuwait has little agriculture and its ‎fishing activities are limited to fishing and shrimp. The United States, Japan, South Korea, ‎India, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy are Kuwait's largest trading partners.‎

Important economic, social and political characteristics of Kuwait
