Attracting Investment, Advancing Kuwait: Insights from KDIPA’s Bibi Marafie.

Bibi Marafie of the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) reaffirmed Kuwait’s commitment to building a competitive and investor-friendly economy during her address at ASAR Conference 2025. Turning global change into opportunity Marafie framed global economic turbulence as an opportunity rather than a challenge. By adapting to shifting global conditions, Kuwait can consolidate its position as a regional hub for finance, trade, and innovation, particularly in growth sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and the digital economy.

Collaboration as the foundation for progress

A consistent theme in her remarks was collaboration. Sustainable growth, she explained, depends on cooperation between government entities, private investors, and international partners. The ASAR Conference itself, she noted, exemplifies this partnership by providing a platform to align vision, policy, and implementation.

Investment as transformation

Marafie urged participants to view investment not simply as capital inflow but as a force for transformation – one that drives innovation, employment, and diversification. She expressed confidence that continued dialogue between public and private stakeholders will strengthen Kuwait’s position on the global investment stage.

Key takeaway

Through collaboration, innovation, and policy consistency, Kuwait can translate global shifts into domestic advantage, building a more diversified and resilient economy.
