The Kuwait market presents UK businesses, large and small, with genuine opportunities for engagement in a diverse range of sectors. Continuing higher than expected oil revenues enhance their already strong financial position, suggesting the ambitious national development plan will undoubtedly succeed.

Kuwaiti buyers and officials regularly indicate that businesses from the UK are seen as their favoured partners, and the large number of UK professional services companies already active in Kuwait indicate the important role played by the UK. Commitment is the key to the development of successful business relations in Kuwait, and UK companies should be prepared to demonstrate commitment to Kuwait if the ambition to become “partners of choice” is to be achieved.
