Strategic Recovery: Assessing Kuwait’s Post-Gulf War Economic Growth and Stability

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the economic effects of Kuwait’s post-Gulf War recovery program on per capita GDP. Utilizing the Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDD) method with data from The Maddison Project (2018), the analysis demonstrates significant positive impacts on Kuwait’s economic performance in both the short and long term. These findings underscore the vital role of coordinated state interventions, ample financial resources, and strong institutional capacity in enabling successful economic recovery after large-scale conflicts.
