Now in its second edition, Doing Business with Kuwait is the most authoritative guide available on investment and trading opportunities in this vital, oil-rich global business centre, located at the head of the Persian Gulf. The guide provides invaluable analysis of the opportunities for foreign businesses and a practical guide to local business practices. The government's pro-business stance is illustrated by a stable legal framework of business laws and few controls over imports and exports. Under the new direct foreign investment laws it is also possible for a foreigner to have 100% ownership of a local business.
