Kuwait named the prime minister’s fourth government in eight months, as the oil-rich OPEC member faces little let-up from political uncertainty and economic malaise.
Premier Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Sabah, the eldest son of Kuwait’s ailing ruler, heads the new line-up that includes Manaf Al-Hajeri as the country’s fifth finance minister since 2020.
A former head of the Kuwait Financial Centre, Al-Hajeri replaces Abdulwahab Al-Rasheed, who served for less than 18 months. Oil Minister Bader Al-Mulla retained his post in the new government, which includes two women and six new appointees.
