You are cordially invited to attend our complimentary webinar on, “Kuwait’s New Era: From Hidden Ownership to Transparent Foreign Investment: Special Focus on the Oil & Gas Industry,” hosted by GLA & Company on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at 1:00 PM (KSA/Kuwait/Qatar time) / 2:00 PM (DUBAI time).

This one-hour webinar will unpack Kuwait’s landmark 2026 legislative reforms and what they mean for foreign investors, local partners, and market participants. Over the past twelve months, Kuwait has enacted a series of interconnected reforms that signal one of the most significant shifts in the country’s commercial and investment landscape in decades. Our expert panel will examine four interconnected reforms reshaping Kuwait’s commercial and investment landscape:

• Decree-Law No. 67 of 2026 — KPC commercialization and the ban on local agents in petroleum-sector contracts.
• Decree-Law No. 78 of 2026 — The new Commercial Concealment Law criminalizing hidden ownership, fronting, and nominee structures.
• Ministerial Decision No. 156 of 2026 — Tightened UBO framework with compressed 15-day disclosure deadlines.
• KDIPA and Law No. 116 of 2013 — The lawful pathway to 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and direct investment.

Topics covered include ownership restructuring pathways, impact on commercial agents and distributors, tendering on Kuwait government and K-company contracts, and Kuwaitization obligations, and a practical 90-day action plan.
