Around 70,000 Kuwaitis to receive financial support

The Ministry of Finance has approved the distribution of 240.5 million Kuwaiti dinars to 70,000 Kuwaitis following a request submitted by the Public Authority for Manpower last week.

Small business owners and private sector employees will receive support from the government for six months, which includes last month.

90 per cent of the 1.3 million Kuwaitis work in the public sector, while the majority of the private sector employees are expats.

Over the previous years, the government has been trying to incentivize citizens to work in the private sector by providing monthly financial support.
