Kuwait

Kuwait's non-oil GDP is expected to grow at 4.5% in 2014 and 2015 compared to last year's 4% mainly on the back of high oil prices, large fiscal and trade surpluses and government’s vast financial reserve, said a report.

However, overall GDP will decrease by 0.6% in 2014 due to a projected fall in oil production, before rising by 3.1% in 2015, stated National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) in its report.
