Kuwait awards $4bn port contract to Chinese company

2025/12/25 04:10

Kuwait has given a Chinese company a contract to build Mina Mubarak Al-Kabeer port, as the Gulf state seeks a greater share in world trade.

The engineering, supply and construction contract for the port located on Boubyan island in Kuwait went to the China Company for Communications and Construction, Kuwaiti state-run news agency Kuna reported.

The deal is valued at $4 billion, according to local media.

The port will act as a strategic base for the economic development of Kuwait, enhancing the country’s share in the regional and global supply-chain network, the agency quoted the prime minister, Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, as saying.

The deal constitutes Kuwaiti participation in China’s Belt and Road Initiative, according to Chinese acting charge d’affaires Lie Xiang.

The infrastructure project will also help Kuwait diversify its dependence on oil, which accounts for 90 percent of the country’s fiscal revenues and more than half of its gross domestic product.

The Kuwait Vision 2035 development plan seeks to transform the country into a financial and trade hub through private-sector participation.

The International Monetary Fund expects Kuwait’s GDP to gain 3.8 percent in 2026, driven by an unwinding of oil production cuts and robust non-oil growth.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
