Last update: 8 hours ago

Economic Courts Push: Kuwait’s Justice Minister backed a new law creating economic courts with special circuits across First Instance, Appeals and Cassation, aiming to speed case prep, expand e-litigation and improve enforcement of rulings.

Food Safety Crackdown: Kuwait’s food inspectors issued violations at Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh Market, destroyed 100kg of meat of unknown origin, and deported one individual.

Human Capital in Banking: NBK launched four new cohorts of its Middle Management Program, adding modules on digital leadership and AI applications. Regional Energy Shock—Hormuz: Multiple reports say the Strait of Hormuz remains volatile, with the US claiming an open corridor and Iran disputing control, while tanker shortages and insurance risks are driving record shipping costs—an issue directly tied to Kuwait’s export exposure. Diplomacy: South Korea’s foreign minister will meet Kuwait’s counterpart in Seoul next week to discuss cooperation including energy security. Business & Jobs: talabat renewed its sponsorship of CODED’s Academy X to support women’s empowerment in tech and entrepreneurship in Kuwait.
