Bordered to the north and west by Iraq, to the south and west by Saudi Arabia and to the east by the Arabian Gulf, Kuwait occupies a strategic position in this vital region. Kuwait is a member of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). About one-third of Kuwait’s 4 million residents are Kuwaiti nationals. The other 2.7 million residents hail from more than 80 countries. Kuwait’s economy is dominated by the oil industry and government sector. The country’s crude oil reserves are estimated at nearly 101.50 billion barrels, approximately 8% of the world’s reserves, and the country’s oil industry accounts for nearly half of Kuwait’s GDP, 94.4% of government revenues. Given that oil is the country’s main natural resource, Kuwait’s industries are dominated by oil refining and downstream petrochemical processing.
