How business is done in Kuwait
Population
About 4.9 million (2023), with an expatriate majority; affluent and oil-driven, concentrated around Kuwait City.
Language(s) spoken
Arabic is official, and English is widely used in business given the expatriate population. Commercial materials are typically Arabic and English; government-facing content benefits from Arabic.
How business decisions are made
Hierarchical and top-down, relationship- and trust-based, with authority resting with owners and senior figures and personal networks ('wasta') central; patience and face-to-face matter. The state and oil wealth dominate and merchant families are influential. Incumbents are entrenched through relationships.
Effective marketing
Status, quality and premium positioning resonate, with respect for Islamic values and conservative norms, and very high social-media use. Ramadan and Eid are the biggest marketing seasons, alongside National Day.
