Kuwait central bank raises key rate by 25 bps to 2.5%

(Reuters) – The Central Bank of Kuwait said on Wednesday it increased its discount rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s three quarters of a percentage point rate hike.

The Kuwaiti dinar is pegged against a basket of currencies that includes the dollar, which gives it more flexibility to stray from Fed policy than other Gulf Arab countries, which have their currencies tied to the dollar.
