Kuwait’s cabinet approved a draft bill to extend an additional credit of 600 million dinars ($1.99 billion) dedicated to bonuses for frontline workers tackling the covid-19 pandemic.
The cabinet said on Twitter that the draft law with additional credit in the budget of ministries and government departments for the fiscal year 2020/2021 has been submitted to Kuwait’s emir and will also be referred to the parliament.
Kuwait has introduced several measures to alleviate the COVID-19 pressure on economic sectors and on affected businesses.
Kuwait’s cabinet had submitted in February draft legislation to parliament that would allow the government to withdraw up to 5 billion dinars ($16.53 billion) from the country’s sovereign wealth fund annually, according to Reuters.
