1 KUWAITI PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY REPORT Prepared by Kuwait Economic Society Kuwait April 2006
2 Preface The challenge has never been greater for Kuwait s policy makers. During the last three years, the government s budget has recorded unprecedented surpluses due to high crude oil prices; with practically no strategic decisions on what to do with these surpluses. Various debates and discussions have been undertaken with propositions ranging from saving all of the surpluses for future generations to distributing them among citizens. From another perspective, the socio-political and economic reform agenda presented by government continues to attract increasing debates and dialogues among various institutional stakeholders with limited information on the perception of Kuwaitis regarding these issues. Recognizing the need to inform decision-makers and leaders about the public's view to government policies and performance, the Kuwait Economic Society has undertaken a comprehensive public opinion survey to measure citizens perceptions about Kuwait s: Direction, Performance & Trust Awareness of & Support for Reforms Societal & Economic Trends Information Sources & Media This publication aims at enhancing the debate with scientifically sound information, contributing to the real discourse about the nation s problems, and finding creative, multi-faceted, sustainable solutions to them. Finally, let me express my gratitude to the assistance of Mr. Maher Aziziah and his team for undertaking the public opinion survey and data analysis, and the technical assistance and support of the International Republican Institute (IRI) for making this study possible. Dr. Rola Dashti Chairman Kuwait Economic Society
