Kuwait City — Kuwait’s Finance Minister Nora Al-Fassam has officially tendered her resignation, according to a brief statement issued by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Monday. The announcement provided no explanation for the unexpected departure of the country’s top financial official.

In the interim, Minister Energy, water and Electricity Dr. Sabeeh Al-Mukhaizeem has been appointed as acting finance minister, pending further government decisions on a permanent replacement.
