(MENAFN) Kuwait’s market awaits USD27 billion worth of contracts before year-end, in spite of the low oil prices, an official source said.

Kuwait awarded USD2.7 billion worth of deals in the second quarter, bringing the total value of contracts awarded so far this year to USD7.5 billion, said National Bank of Kuwait (NBK).

By the end of June, Kuwait’s projects market, both running and planned, has increased to USD255 billion, an increase of 2.9 percent year-to-date.
