Kuwait is an oil based economy with the fifth largest proven crude
oil reserves in the world. Consequently, Kuwaits economy was structured
around the production and refining of hydrocarbons. According topreliminary data from Kuwaits Central Statistical Office, nominal GDP
grew 16.9% YoY (Year on Year) in 2010 to reach KWD 35.6 billion, up
from KWD 30.5 billion the previous year. Growth was driven largely by
the oil sector, which contributed KD18.3 billion to GDP, an increase of
22% YoY due to higher oil prices in 2010. During the year 2010, Kuwait
reported a budget surplus of KWD 6.3 billion. Oil revenues for the year
reached KWD 18.8 billion and accounted for approximately 94% of total
government revenues. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) expects the
non-oil sector to remain relatively small, despite efforts to diversify theeconomy. Looking forward, EIU forecasts real GDP to grow at an average
rate of 4.9% over the 20112016 periods.1
