Kuwait: Government, Public Sector

Kuwait's Decree-Law No. 94 of 2026 introduces sweeping reforms to the country's public procurement system, fundamentally altering how foreign contractors access government tenders. The amendments prohibit the use of local agents, raise financial thresholds for petroleum sector contracts, and streamline governance structures within the Central Agency for Public Tenders. These changes signal a decisive policy shift toward transparency and direct foreign engagement in Kuwait's commercial landscape.
