Al Sabah added that in order to enhance economic growth following a 2009 recession, in February last year, Kuwait reduced key interest rates cutting main discount rate by 50 basis points to 2.5 percent. He also said that there was no urging local demand to increase local interest rates at the time being since economic growth rates were improving within limited rates.
