In 2025, the European Commission received a request for technical assistance on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing from the authorities of Kuwait. The EU Global Facility on AML/CFT submitted a technical assistance offer on April and organised several coordination meetings with Kuwait representative in the following months.

The main topics for which support was requested included Immediate Outcomes 3, 4 (supervision and prevention of financial and non-financial sector) and 5 (beneficial ownership).

The EU Global Facility delivered its very first technical assistance activity to Kuwait in September 2025, on the topic of Beneficial Ownership.

Kuwait’s measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing are extensively detailed in its last Mutual Evaluation Report from October 2024.
