In October 2025, Kuwait saw a deceleration in its M2 money supply growth, with the indicator settling at 3.49%, according to recent data released on November 26, 2025. This marks a drop from the previous month's year-over-year rate of 4.09%.
The M2 money supply, which includes cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money, serves as a crucial measure of money in circulation within the economy. The decline suggests a tightening in monetary conditions or a shift in financial habits, which could be attributed to a variety of economic factors impacting the country.
As Kuwait strives to maintain economic stability amidst a dynamic global economic environment, these shifts in money supply growth rates are critical to monitor. The changes in figures hint at potential impacts on inflation, consumer spending, and investment patterns, which policymakers and analysts will likely watch closely to guide future economic strategies.
