political crisis that has been going on for years
Kuwait has been surrounded by domestic political controversies for the last few years. The country’s welfare system has been a major issue in this crisis and has prevented the government from taking loans. Because of this, despite huge profits from its oil reserves, there is very little money left in the government treasury to pay salaries to public sector employees. Like other Arab countries, Kuwait also has a monarchy system with a Sheikh, but the legislature here is considered more powerful than the neighboring countries.
