Kuwait Ministries Gain Authority to Determine Public Service Fees

  • 19/01/2025

Kuwait has made a significant move towards modernizing its public facilities and services management with the introduction of Decree Law No. 1 of 2025. This new law effectively replaces Law No. 79 of 1995, which previously governed the fees and financial costs associated with public services.


The key change here is that each government entity will now have the authority to set its own fees and costs for services, providing more flexibility and alignment with operational costs and demand. These fees will be determined by the competent authority within each entity and will require approval from the Council of Ministers.
