 Kuwait is a small country geographically, but it enjoys an open economy backed by oil reserves of about 102 billion barrels, which account for six percent of global reserves. Oil income contributes almost half of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 90 percent of government income. Kuwait plans to increase oil production to four million barrels per day in order to increase its wealth, the website revealed.
