The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said Kuwait will have exhausted its entire oil savings by 2017 if it keeps on spending money at the current rate and would not be able to save oil receipts into its future generations fund, Reuters has reported. In addition to having to diversify its economy and improve its infrastructure and climate for investment, the Gulf country would also have to cut the fiscal deficit excluding oil and debt servicing by at least KD7bn ($25bn) by 2017 to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability. "The need of fiscal consolidation is larger and more urgent in a scenario of lower oil prices," the IMF added. [AMEInfo.com]
