In a significant development for Kuwait's financial sector, the country's bank lending growth reached 7.01% in October 2025, surpassing the previous month's growth indicator of 6.43%, marking a notable incline. Data updated on November 26, 2025, highlights this substantial increase in lending activity compared to the same period last year.
The year-over-year comparison indicates a positive trend in Kuwaiti lending, showcasing the financial system's adaptability and resilience. The escalation from the previous month's indicator underscores increased economic confidence and possibly a rise in consumer and business activities fueling credit demand.
