Country Risk Update -  Kuwait

Risk Indicator  - DB4b
Risk Level        - Moderate
Ratings Trend  - Deteriorating
The government is urging for an early parliamentary election to end protracted institutional deadlock, raising the risk of further delays to market reforms and investment projects. Elevated oil prices due to conflict-related energy uncertainty will improve the fiscal deficit. The credit environment score outlook has been set to ‘stable’, as higher oil prices drastically lower the deficit by around 74%. Higher oil prices have eased Kuwait's fiscal crunch, cutting external financing needs, but the outlook for crucial fiscal reforms remains weak. Political constraints might continue to obstruct meaningful economic reform.
