New regulations concerning the national labor percentage in non-government bodies will be implemented starting from next week after the implementation had been repeatedly postponed for study, local media Kuwait Times reported.

According to report, the Cabinet had issued a decision amending its resolution number 904/2002 pertaining setting a mandatory percentage for citizens in non-governmental bodies, but it was not so far put into practice. According to the amendments, percentages of citizens will be increased to 70 percent in the banking sector, 65 percent in telecom companies, 40 percent in finance and investment and 30 percent in higher education, universities, institutes and petrochemical industries.
