Executive Summary

What is this report about?
The relationship between Britain and Kuwait dates back to the middle of the 18th century and the activities of the British East India Company, which eventually set up an office in the country in 1793. In the 1930s, the British Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) negotiated a concession to explore for oil, and in 1934, the Kuwait Oil Company formed and registered as a joint enterprise with the APOC, which later became BP. There are ample opportunities for Kuwait to tap into the UK’s experience. Over the past decade, economic reforms in the UK has enabled job creation and has driven the unemployment rate to one among the lowest among advanced economies, at below 5%. Private sector job creation has always appears high on Kuwait’s agenda since most of the nationals currently work for the government. The UK is a major financial center and Kuwait could draw some inspiration from the UK, on developing its financial infrastructure and allied industries. VAT implementation and tax codes are another area that is open for more collaboration between these two countries. This report analyzes the lessons on offer from UK, and possibilities for potential tie-ups in areas of Kuwaiti interest.
