This decision was met with criticism, particularly from Khalaf Al-Enezi, a member of the National Assembly of Kuwait, who rejected the approved increase in minimum wage as it was lower than expected, and urged the government to review its decision.[citation needed]
As of 2025, the minimum wage according to the Kuwait employment law, the minimum wage is 75 (KWD) Kuwaiti Dinars Per Month, unchanged since 2017.[1]
