History and operations[edit]

Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) was established in 2013. It is a governmental organization that advances economic diversification, growth, and Kuwait's global competitiveness. It was established in alignment with Kuwait's goal of diminishing its dependence on oil-generated revenues and broadening its economic base. The agency's objective is to streamline the investment process, simplify regulatory protocols, and deliver comprehensive support to foreign investors.[5][6] KDIPA functions as a unified resource for foreign investors, extending aid throughout the investment lifecycle, commencing from initial inquiries to project realization.[7][8][9][10][11]
