The Kuwait Real Estate report examines the commercial office, retail, industrial and construction segments throughout the kingdom in the context of a recovering market which is backed by government spending and robust economic growth.

With a focus on the principal cities of Salmiya, al-Jahra and Kuwait City, the report covers the rental market performance in terms of rates and yields over the past 18 months and examines how best to maximise returns in the commercial real estate market, while minimising investment risk and exploring the impact of the government-fed construction boom on a market which is stabilising after a tough few years.

Nevertheless, Kuwait’s various real estate sectors are developing in different directions and at varying rates. The commercial market in general remains positive and it is recovering. The most recent data –
covering H112 – corroborates expectations that the market is stabilising, although it has yet to settle down and is characterised by frequent, although ultimately minor, fluctuations in rental rates.

We retain a broadly sanguine outlook on the Kuwaiti economy's prospects in 2012 and 2013. Elevated global READ MORE >
