Kuwaiti minimum wage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On February 21, 2008, the Kuwaiti Parliament approved a monthly pay rise of 120 Kuwaiti dinars (KWD) ($440) for nationals working in the public and private sectors after inflation rose to 7.3%, the highest level in 16 years. The decision was also made to raise the pay of foreigners employed by the government by 50 KWD ($184).[citation needed]

This decision was met with criticism, particularly from Khalaf Al-Enezi, a member of the National Assembly of Kuwait, who rejected the approved increase in minimum wage as it was lower than expected, and urged the government to review its decision.[citation needed]

Prior to 2018, the minimum wage in Kuwait was 60 KWD. However, following recent modifications to the Kuwait Labour Law in 2022, the minimum wage is now 75 KWD.[1]
