Kuwait population since 2010 is growing at the same level of 2.8% yearly and the growth is forecasted by IMF at 2.8% over the
next 5 years compared to almost 1% for the global population growth. This growth coupled with rising income levels will propel
growth in consumer spending.
Kuwait boasts the highest telecom penetration levels in the MENA region, which stood at the end of 2014 at 218% as reported by
(ITU-D) and 217% at the end of 2015, and expected to remain at same levels during 2016.
