Kuwait operates as a constitutional monarchy where the Emir holds dominant executive power, particularly after the 2024 suspension of the National Assembly and key constitutional articles for up to four years. This has centralized authority in the Emir and Council of Ministers, aiming to overcome legislative gridlock and advance reforms under the New Kuwait 2035 vision. Political stability remains challenged by historical executive-legislative tensions, with recent Cabinet decisions in 2025 promoting governance and economic diversification.
