Abdullah Al-Salloum (Arabic: عبد الله السلوم; born Abdullah Salim Abdullah Al-Salloum, August 28, 1981) is a Kuwaiti economist, entrepreneur, investor, and author. He is known for his publications on the principles of political economy,[1][2][3][4] for originating new accounting techniques that have been dedicated to the public domain as part of his social responsibility work,[5][6][7][8][9] and for founding the Kuwait Policy Observatory.[10][11][12]
Early life and education
Al-Salloum was born on August 28, 1981, in Kuwait.[13] He earned his master's degree in business administration and his bachelor's degree in computer science from Gulf University for Science and Technology. He's also earned a certification of international project management from the American Academy of Financial Management.[1][9][13][14]
Career
After a decade in the private sector, Al-Salloum joined the public sector in 2021 as advisor to the Minister of Commerce and Industry and then appointed director of the Center of Strategic Research and Development in the Insurance Regulatory Unit.[13]
Al-Salloum led the transformation of supervision on the insurance sector by establishing IruSoft; an in-house implemented platform that introduces unique supervision-technology (suptech), insurance-technology (insurtech) and regulatory-technology (regtech) modules, by which the unit requires less resources to ensure fairness, transparency and competition and to prevent conflicts of interest in the sector.[15][16][17][18]
Views
Centralization and economic reform
In a January 2022 interview on Thmanyah, Al-Salloum argued that centralized decision-making may be more effective for resource-dependent economies, particularly oil-based states, while democratic systems are better suited to economies with diversified and sustainable structures. He described Kuwait as facing a structural challenge in this regard, operating as an oil-dependent economy within a decentralized legislative framework. Al-Salloum expressed the view that large-scale economic transformation requires direction from higher sovereign and executive levels, rather than reliance on parliamentary processes alone.[19][20]
Al-Salloum further stated that comprehensive economic reform involves extensive legislative changes and coordination across multiple sectors, including social, cultural, and political domains. He suggested that the scale and complexity of such reforms—potentially involving the introduction and amendment of dozens of laws—would make implementation through conventional parliamentary procedures difficult. He characterized economic transformation as a process requiring structured planning, research, and institutional alignment, rather than incremental or populist-driven initiatives.[19][20]
Commercial licensing and business concealment
In August 2026, commenting on Kuwait's suspension of new freelance business licences and the introduction of its anti-concealment law, Al-Salloum said that the freelance licensing framework was suitable for digital, professional and home-based businesses, but that the absence of dedicated commercial premises made conventional physical inspections more difficult. He described some nominee arrangements as “licence farms”, in which businesses were owned by citizens on paper in return for a fixed commission, while actual management, revenues and commercial decisions remained with unauthorised operators. He argued that such arrangements weakened accountability, distorted competition and reduced domestic reinvestment, and said that legally identifying the person who operated and benefited from a business would improve transparency, business standards and competitive fairness.[21]
COVID-19 pandemic
In March 2020, in an earlier interview on Thmanyah, Al-Salloum speculated an unprecedented economic depression to take place in July 2020. The rationale was based on the paralysis of daily life caused by Lockdowns, where curfews caused a real decrease in consumption levels. Accordingly, the global economy was negatively affected as a result of a series of decreases in demand on energy-products as well as many others. On the same interview, he mentioned how the global economy, including the economy of the United States, would benefit from lowering oil prices during the pandemic, which contradicted the United States' presidential political view on oversupplying the oil markets.[22]
As for regional economies, Kuwait's in particular, Al-Salloum warned that generous economic packages for the private sector will not be feasible for the economy when viewed in a macroeconomic perspective. He believes the private sector does not weigh enough Export-driven value in the gross-domestic-product's equation.[23] In terms of 2020 budget deficit in Kuwait, he believes the pandemic was not the real cause, but an accelerator.[24] He also believes a conditional Public Debt Bill would be the best available option when other reforming Legislations pass in parallel, in particular, the ones designated to accelerate the Export-based private sector.[23][25]
Economy of Kuwait
In a study he has published in Alqabas newspaper, as well as in other interviews, Al-Salloum illustrated how the economy of Kuwait is driven by formulas whose heavy-weighted variables are out of local control. He demonstrated how the factors of those variables are changing in an exponential manner; pressuring future economic circumstances to be even more severe. He concluded that future economy-related decisions must consider a sustainable positive outcome for the gross domestic product equation, which only occurs by stimulating exports, shortening imports, or both concurrently.[26][24]
Budget deficits in Kuwait
In another study he has published in Kuwait Times newspaper, Al-Salloum concluded that financial waste, corruption, isolation of returns of sovereign funds or insufficient government operational management are not the real cause of state budget deficits but the inability to overcome macroeconomic-related issues, such as transforming the state economy to an economy that is led by an exports-based private sub-sector.[27]
Kuwaiti vision 2035
Al-Salloum believes that Kuwaiti Vision 2035 has not followed the minimum standards of the sustainable development vision concept. His rationale was based on the insufficient methodology used to set the goals of that vision; by which a vision is just a collection of goals that will definitely be achieved once previously planned giant and large projects are executed. Hence, this vision would not require a real strategy to follow other than waiting.[1]
Saudi vision 2030
Unlike Kuwaiti Vision 2035, Al-Salloum sees Saudi Vision 2030 as a vision that follows reasonable standards of the sustainable development vision concept; defending most of its strategies in a book of six chapters.[1] The reason behind having Al-Salloum focusing on the Saudi Arabian economy is the belief that Kuwait's economy, once sustainable, will be attached to the closest largest economy, Saudi Arabian.[1]
Diversified economy
Al-Salloum's advised that following the leads of macroeconomic theories will be of an added value in moving the GCC economy from oil-based to diversified. Except for Kuwait, the decision-making process in all other GCC is centralized, where following those leads – in a direct manner – can be feasibly accomplished. For Kuwait's case, however, and because of the very distributed Decision-making process made by democracy, following those leads to have an effective economic reform must have a prior political reform.[1]
Early retirement bill
Despite the 90% government-parliament consensus on Early Retirement Bill, Al-Salloum believes such a bill should be disregarded unless there will be real political outcomes exceeding future economic losses. He sees that, if the bill passes, the Public Institution For Social Security will accelerate towards an actuarial deficit that is predicted in 2067; making it less independent and more reliant on government treasury to cover its shortages. Al-Salloum's advised that the presence of actuarial figures in governmental-parliamentary committees would fill in the gap between the two authorities in this matter. He also advised that inefficient financial management and corruption within governmental institutions must not be an excuse to pass such bills, including Loans Dropping Bill. Legislations should consider those issues instead.[28][29][30]
Belt and road initiative
In an interview with Xinhua, Al-Salloum stated that the Belt and Road Initiative can help create jobs, increase net exports, and attract even more foreign investments, which by the end increase the overall gross domestic product. In the interview, he stated that China has the expertise, manpower and industrial and logistic production ingredients, which crave entering a market or creating a new one. Kuwait, on the other hand, according to his opinion, has a good location that can be used to create mutual interests for both countries. Hence, he sees cooperation with China will have a positive impact on the development in Kuwait and leads the country to be more exposed and to prompt legislations to facilitate international trade.[31][32]
U.S. Chinese tariffs
In another interview with Xinhua, Al-Salloum showed his visualization of China overcoming the tariffs crisis as its products are no longer globally seen as second-class, which can be justified by the improved use of expertise and research and development it has. He brought up Apple as an example where products are marketed as designed in California and assembled in China.[33]

Kuwait policy observatory
Al-Salloum founded the Kuwait Policy Observatory, which focuses on monitoring public policy in Kuwait from an economic and institutional perspective. The observatory approaches reform as a set of policy trajectories that can be observed and analyzed, rather than as isolated decisions or daily news developments. It publishes its content in Arabic and English, with a focus on issues related to the Kuwaiti economy. The observatory is structured around a number of monitoring tracks that provide entry points for understanding reform trends in Kuwait. These tracks include: (1) fiscal sustainability, (2) economic diversification, (3) private sector autonomy, (4) labor productivity, (5) governance and accountability, and (6) digital transformation.[10][11][12]
The fiscal sustainability track examines the ability of fiscal policy to finance the state model on a sustainable basis, while reducing dependence on non-sustainable revenues, particularly oil revenues. The economic diversification track focuses on the economy’s ability to develop sources of value, production, and income beyond dependence on oil and demand financed by public spending. The private sector autonomy track examines the ability of the private sector to generate value, assume risk, and improve productivity beyond the boundaries of government contracts, protection, and public demand.[10][11][12]
With regard to the labor market, the labor productivity track measures the extent to which the labor market is moving from a model based on numerical employment toward one based on skills, output, and added value. The governance and accountability track examines the ability of institutions to translate public decisions into performance that can be measured, reviewed, and corrected, rather than limiting reform to general announcements or isolated measures. The digital transformation track treats digitalization as a test of the state’s ability to simplify procedures, integrate data, and improve implementation efficiency, rather than merely launching applications or electronic services.[10][11][12]
The observatory uses a set of concise analytical indicators within each track, including institutional readiness, reform opportunity, policy direction, pace of movement, risk level, and policy outlook. It also provides a general assessment for each track, indicating its current position and whether it is positive, transitional, stalled, or in crisis, based on a composite reading of these indicators. The observatory does not aim to issue final judgments or follow the daily details of implementation, but rather to provide a general framework for reading broader trends in public policy. It also distinguishes between the general analysis made available to the public and the technical details related to policy sequencing, institutional models, and measurement tools, which it reserves for specialized discussions with relevant entities, policymakers, and stakeholders.[10][11][12]
Dhammin
Al-Salloum has founded Dhammin (Arabic: ضمّن); a smart political platform that manages candidates' electoral campaigns for the National Assembly, Municipal council or Cooperative Society councils. It has been stated in news reports and interviews that the platform is the first within the field to apply distributed-systems' methodologies.[47][48][49]
Accounting techniques

Al-Salloum has developed – then dedicated to public domain – new accounting techniques using an open-source code and gave it a – CC0 – license to be developed and republished as part of social responsibility.[1] The techniques help businesspeople to easily create qualified and advanced feasibility studies (managerial, technical, financial and market feasibility, as well as pricing mechanism) by inserting basic information. These techniques also assist Households rationalize their Expenses, to either raise savings or lower liabilities, with a minimum lifestyle change.[7][8][50] The techniques have expanded to determine the valuation of running businesses for the purpose of acquisition or sale; creating more efficient negotiation outcomes.[51] Al-Salloum has given free workshops on how such techniques can be used to get more realistic and reasonable results.[5][6][9]
In November 2019, Al-Salloum, as the author of these accounting techniques, received the Award of Youth Volunteer and Humanitarian Initiatives Forum, along with 14 others out of 620 initiatives participating from 16 different Arab countries.[52][53][54][55]
In April 2026, Al-Salloum announced a global expansion of the Techniques platform, making its tools available in both Arabic and English and extending support to international currencies. The expansion marked a transition from a primarily regional focus to broader accessibility. According to the announcement, the platform had generated over 14,000 feasibility studies, more than 3,800 personal expense rationalization reports, and over 1,100 business valuation studies.[56]
