Kuwait's Vision 2035 faces challenges in attracting foreign direct investment, which remains low compared to indirect investment, despite government efforts to diversify the economy and create an investment-friendly environment.

• Kuwait Vision 2035 aims to transform Kuwait into a financial and commercial center by attracting foreign direct investment (FDI).
• FDI accounts for only 0.21% of total foreign investments in Kuwait, with indirect investment growing due to the country's financial stability.
• Experts suggest establishing an investment city with liberal policies and legislation to boost FDI, along with removing administrative barriers and improving economic infrastructure.
