KUWAIT - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Kuwait has a geographically small, but wealthy, relatively open economy with crude oil reserves of about 102 billion barrels - more than 6% of world reserves. Kuwaiti officials plan to increase production to 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2020. Petroleum accounts for over half of GDP, 92% of export revenues, and 90% of government income.

In 2015, Kuwait, for the first time in 15 years, realized a budget deficit after decades of high oil prices; in 2016, the deficit grew to 16.5% of GDP. Kuwaiti authorities announced cuts to fuel subsidies in August 2016, provoking outrage among the public and National Assembly, and the Amir dissolved the government for the seventh time in ten years. In 2017 the deficit was reduced to 7.2% of GDP, and the government raised $8 billion by issuing international bonds. Despite Kuwait’s dependence on oil, the government has cushioned itself against the impact of lower oil prices, by saving annually at least 10% of government revenue in the Fund for Future Generations.

Kuwait has failed to diversify its economy or bolster the private sector, because of a poor business climate, a large public sector that employs about 74% of citizens, and an acrimonious relationship between the National Assembly and the executive branch that has stymied most economic reforms. The Kuwaiti Government has made little progress on its long-term economic development plan first passed in 2010. While the government planned to spend up to $104 billion over four years to diversify the economy, attract more investment, and boost private sector participation in the economy, many of the projects did not materialize because of an uncertain political situation or delays in awarding contracts. To increase non-oil revenues, the Kuwaiti Government in August 2017 approved draft bills supporting a Gulf Cooperation Council-wide value added tax scheduled to take effect in 2018

BUSINESS HISTORY 

In June 1993, Petrochemical Industries Company KSC (PIC) and Union Carbide Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). In July 1994 Fluor Daniel, USA was appointed project management consultant. The Equate management team was formed in January 1995 and site preparation work started in March 1995.

         

Between March and October 1995 US$685 million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts were awarded to Brown & Root, USA, Foster Wheeler Italiana, Italy and Snamprogetti, Italy for the Equate plant.

         

The power substation was activated in April 1997 and in June 1997 the first boiler was started up. In October 1997 the first feed of ethane to the furnace took place. The US$2,000 million Equate complex in Shuaiba was inaugurated on 12 November 1997 by Amir Shaikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah.

         

Equate experienced startup difficulties in 1998, its first full year of operations. After correcting defects in warrantied equipment that had hampered its performance, Equate improved production and earnings in 1999.

         

J. Travis Spoede (employee of Union Carbide) was Chief Financial Officer of Equate Petrochemical Company from 1997 to 1999.

         

Former President & Chief Executive Officer, Charles R. Kline was appointed in 1994, and retired on 31 October2001. He was succeeded by Hamad Al Terkait, who joined Equate in 1998, and was appointed CEO on 1 November 2001.

 

Equate Petrochemical Company was established on 4 December 1995 as a joint venture between PIC (45%), Dow Chemical Company (45%), and Boubyan Petrochemicals Company (10%). In 2005, QPIC acquired a share of 6% in Equate, reducing the ownership of PIC (42.5%), Dow (42.5%) and Boubyan (9%).

DowDuPont Inc. is an American company formed after the merger of Dow Chemical and DuPont on August 31, 2017. It is the world's largest chemical company in terms of sales. Within 18 months the company will be split into three publicly-traded companies which will focus on the following: agriculture, materials science, and specialty products. The agriculture division is named Corteva Agriscience, the materials science division is named Dow, and the specialty products division is named DuPont. Andrew Liveris is the chairman of the board of directors, and Edward Breen is the CEO. The merger has been reported to be worth an estimated $130 billion. In March 2018, it was announced that Jeff Fettig will become executive chairman of DowDuPont on July 1, 2018, and Jim Fitterling will become CEO of Dow Chemical on April 1, 2018.

 

On December 11, 2015, DuPont announced a merger with Dow Chemical Company, in an all-stock transaction. The combined company, DowDuPont, will have an estimated value of $130 billion, being equally held by both companies’ shareholders, while also maintaining its two headquarters. The merger of the two largest U.S. chemical companies closed on August 31, 2017.

 

Both companies' boards of directors decided that following the merger, DowDuPont would pursue a separation into three independent, publicly-traded companies: an agriculture, a materials science, and a specialty products company. The agriculture business--Corteva Agriscience would unite Dow and DuPont’s seed and crop protection unit, with an approximate revenue of $16 billion. The materials science segment--to be called Dow--would consist of DuPont’s Performance Materials unit, together with Dow’s Performance Plastics, Materials and Chemicals, Infrastructure and Consumer Solutions, but exclude DOW's Electronic Materials business. Combined revenue for this branch totals an estimated $51 billion. Finally, the specialty products unit--to be called DuPont--would include DuPont’s Nutrition & Health, Industrial Biosciences, Safety & Protection and Electronics & Communications, as well as Dow’s aforementioned Electronic Materials business. Combined revenue for Specialty Products will total approximately $12 billion.

 

Advisory Committees were established for each of the businesses. DuPont CEO Ed Breen would lead the Agriculture and Specialty Products Committees, and Dow CEO Andrew Liveris would lead the Materials Science Committee. These Committees were intended to oversee their respective businesses, and would work with both CEOs on the scheduled separation of the businesses’ standalone entities.[13] Announced in February 2018, DowDuPont's agriculture division is named Corteva Agriscience, its materials science division is named Dow, and its specialty products division is named DuPont.
