“Now we want to translate this deep knowledge into some program to overcome some of the challenges facing the Kuwaiti economy,” he added. He indicated that the discussion­s also focused on “a couple of ways forward, how we can mitigate the issues and challenges facing the Kuwait economy, what kind of reform we need and how quickly should this reform be conducted,” as well as “what more can the WB do for Kuwait in terms of bringing the best global experience to Kuwait.

Dr Hasan affirmed that they “agreed on the way forward and agreed that Kuwait needs reform as the challenges are big and also we need to overcome other economic issues,” such as the deficit in the budget, the public sector, what is the role of the private sector and “how we can create a better environmen­t for the private sector to grow.” “We need to push the growth to make it bigger and also how to integrate it with the regional agenda,” he said.

He stressed the importance of the small medium-sized enterprise­s, saying it is “the way forward to create jobs for our youth and fulfill their hopes in order for their future career developmen­t.”

He indicated the Bank “will provide several solutions for dealing with the subsidies and other economic aspects but we will leave the selection of these options for the Kuwait side,” saying “they know their environmen­t better.”

He said that “we want to be smart in where to invest in order to have the highest developmen­tal impact and returns, in addition to how we can involve the private sector to improve quality and reduce costs.”

He added “we are going to go (to Kuwait) with a vision and provide recommenda­tions and see how we’re going to operationa­lize it and then hopefully we see the best results.” Dr Hasan affirmed that the Bank believes that how the issues are addressed should be “homegrown coming from Kuwait and we then build it up.”

As for the delegation’s meeting with the World Bank President Jim Kim, Dr Hasan said it was “superb. It was open and frank,” and that the meeting went beyond its scheduled time, which reflects “how much rapport and trust” Al-Ghanim and the President have built between them.

Al-Ghanim took part in the Global Parliament­ary Conference held in Washington from April 17 to 18, organized by the Internatio­nal Monetary Fund (IMF) and the WB.
