In 2016, Kuwait has announced significant reforms designed to balance the national economy and diversify the nation's sources of income. These reforms include plans to boost non-oil revenues and reduce public spending, as well as financial sector reforms, changes to the public sector's role in the economy, and incentives to empower citizens to launch their own businesses. New and familiar faces meet to explore Kuwait's macro-economic and financial sector outlook in a global context - evaluating Kuwait's strategic response to the fiscal deficit and steps to reform.
