Instructions Concerning the Ratio of National Manpower in Local Banks
The Central Bank of Kuwait mandates all local banks to progressively increase their national workforce ratio to 50% by March 15, 2007, following a phased six-period timetable. Banks must submit quarterly employee reports detailing Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti staff across managerial, supervisory, and clerical levels within ten business days of each quarter's end. Non-compliance with the targeted ratios or reporting deadlines may result in financial penalties unless justified.
