AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

UK-GCC Free Trade Deal: Britain has sealed a long-awaited free trade agreement with the six GCC states, including Kuwait, worth about £3.7bn ($5bn) a year in export opportunities over the long run, with 93% of tariffs on UK goods set to be removed and early cuts on two-thirds of duties; sectors flagged include food, medical devices, autos, aerospace, electronics and advanced manufacturing, plus digital trade provisions allowing data handling beyond the Gulf. Hormuz Pressure on Energy: The Iran-linked Strait of Hormuz squeeze is still biting—160+ tankers reportedly remain stranded, with only limited daily transits as diplomatic talks wobble and oil prices stay jumpy. Iran-US Talks Drag On: Iran says it is reviewing the latest US proposal via Pakistan mediation, while Trump signals he may wait only days for “the right answers,” keeping the region on edge. Kuwait Market & Industry Moves: Kuwait’s commercial control teams stepped up inspections and penalties to curb price and labeling violations; meanwhile, Action Energy signed a market maker deal to boost liquidity, and KNPC is weighing a 6th LPG unit feasibility study. Local Governance Shift: Kuwait’s Cabinet approved changes to make the Municipal Council fully appointed, cutting membership to 12 and shortening the term to two years.
