MENACodex’s Q3 2026 findings for Kuwait documented a 2.1-percentage-point fall in annual inflation between March and June 2026, while Gulf peers averaged no change. This marked Kuwait’s widest gap with the group in 54 months. The accompanying story also recorded a zero-inflation reading for Kuwait.
Two annual measures continued three-year declines. Net product taxes at constant prices fell from -4 billion in local currency in 2022 to -4.4 billion in 2025, a decrease of 400 million. Outward foreign direct investment as a share of GDP fell from 13.4% in 2022 to 1.90% in 2025, a reported decline of 11 percentage points.
Over the same three-year period, broad money as a share of GDP rose from 68.7% in 2022 to 87.4% in 2025, a reported increase of 19 percentage points. Taken together, the quarter’s published findings documented inflation easing relative to Gulf peers alongside longer-running declines in net product taxes and outward investment shares, and an increase in the broad-money share.
MENACodex’s findings were statistically detected from multilateral-source data and checked before publication; the supplied material did not name those sources. This brief covered Q3 2026.
