Kuwait Credit Growth: Reaccelerates in 2025

Kuwait’s credit market closed 2025 with a solid 7.6% growth rate - the strongest since 2022. With more than 100,000 pending mortgage applications and ongoing structural reforms, 2026 is poised for an acceleration, with credit growth projected between 8% to 10%.
