Kuwait: Economic freedom index, 5-year change

Increased economic freedom is strongly associated with high GDP growth, and therefore with rises in residential property prices. Changes in a country’s score on the Heritage Foundation’s freedom index are calculated by the Global Property Guide to produce a 5-point rating:

• Greatly Improved
• Improved
• Nuetral
• Worse
• Much Worse

Source: Calculated using figures from The Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal

Kuwait does not publish official house price statistics. The Kuwait Real Estate Sector Report published by the Global Investment House is a good source of information on residential unit prices, land prices, construction and sales activities.

General economics statistics are assembled by the International Monetary Fund, originally sourced from the Ministry of Planning and the Central Statistical Office.
