Sources & methodology
Kuwait is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world. The source year is shown with each figure.
Rounding: percentages are generally shown to one decimal place and index scores to four decimal places. A difference of 0.1 may be caused by rounding. Where no current comparable value is available, DigifyWorld keeps the older source year visible rather than estimating a replacement.View sources used for this page
