Group Chief Strategy Officer, Fahad Al-Mukhaizeem Meanwhile, Group Chief Strategy Officer, Fahad Al-Mukhaizeem highlighted the Kuwait operating environment with an overview on KFH. He also talked about KFH's strategy, as well as FY 2025 results. Al-Mukhaizeem said: "Global economic growth remained resilient in 2025 amid persistent trade tensions, elevated geopolitical uncertainty, and the restraining effects of relatively tight financing conditions on demand and investment. Global GDP growth is estimated at 3.3% in 2025 and is expected to remain stable at 3.3% in 2026, supported by technology-driven investment in advanced economies." He added that global inflation is projected to moderate to 4.1% in 2025 and further to 3.8% in 2026, reflecting moderating demand and easing energy prices. The outlook remains subject to downside risks related to supply-chain disruptions, commodity price volatility, and rising fiscal and sovereign debt pressures in several major economies. "The Kuwaiti economy is experiencing a gradual recovery driven by non-oil sector growth, despite continued adherence to OPEC+ production limits. Following a contraction of 2.6% in real GDP in 2024, growth is expected to reach around 2.6% in 2025 and accelerate to 3.9% in 2026, supported by stronger non-oil activity, resilient domestic demand, and sustained momentum in government capital spending." Al-Mukhaizeem highlighted. In 2025, Kuwait delivered a standout performance in the projects market, recording over 16% growth on an annual basis in awarded contract values to USD 10.2 billion, the highest level in nine years, supported by projects aligned with Vision 2035 and accelerated investment in the energy (oil and gas), power, and transport sectors—signaling a clear shift from planning to execution. This momentum has supported financing opportunities for KFH, reinforcing its role in structuring and funding large-scale projects across key strategic sectors. The Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) continued to recalibrate its monetary stance amid a benign inflation environment. Annual inflation remained contained at around 2.5% in September 2025, with full-year inflation projected to ease to approximately 2.2%, down from an average of 2.9% in 2024. The CBK cut its discount rate by 25 basis points in December 2025 to 3.50%, reflecting a measured easing approach aimed at supporting economic activity while preserving price stability and broader macro-financial balance. He added that the mortgage law draft remains in review. Its approval could generate significant demand for mortgage financing, affecting the banking sector and housing market. Ongoing discussions signal progress toward a new mortgage regulatory framework supportive of long-term banking sector growth, with implementation and impact dependent on the final law and implementing regulations. KFH remained Kuwait’s largest listed company in Boursa Kuwait by market capitalization, with a market value of approximately KWD 14.6 billion as of the end of December 2025, up 17.4% year on year versus end-2024 and accounting for around 27.4% of total listed market capitalization, which stood at KWD 53.2 billion, up 22.1% over the same period. This reflects sustained investor confidence in KFH’s earnings viability, balance sheet strength, and disciplined execution, highlighting its role as a core defensive and growth anchor in the Kuwaiti equity market, supported by strong results from its diversified business model and market leadership. KFH concluded 2025 with exceptional achievements, securing more than 58 prestigious regional and international awards across banking excellence, digital transformation, sustainability, innovation in Islamic finance, and service quality. This recognition reflects strong international confidence in KFH’s strategy execution, operational strength, and governance, reinforcing its position as a leading Islamic financial institution regionally and globally, and its ability to deliver sustainable value in a competitive banking landscape. KFH has advanced its digital transformation by shifting from basic digitization to value-driven technology adoption. KFH has expanded use of technology across frontline channels, deploying solutions to enhance customer engagement and service efficiency. At the same time, enhancements to the KFH mobile app have strengthened digital journeys and increased migration to scalable, efficient channels, supported by stronger digital governance, cyber risk management, and fraud prevention. "KFH has reiterated its focus on institutional partnerships and embedding sustainability at the core of its business model, while leveraging advanced digital capabilities to support long-term competitiveness. This is reflected in its role as a strategic partner in international economic forums and the integration of ESG considerations into client engagement—particularly through targeted SME programs—underscoring a disciplined approach to growth, resilience, and long-term value creation." Al-Mukhaizeem emphasized. "KFH enters 2026 from a position of strength, supported by disciplined execution, a resilient balance sheet, and clear strategic priorities. Our diversified model, digital progress, and sustainability focus position us well for sustainable growth and long-term value creation." He concluded.
