        The Kuwaiti banking sector faces many obstacles slowing it down compared to other GCC countries. Focus on the oil industry has taken investments from other sectors. This means fewer opportunities for banks as their activities become limited to personal loans and a few active sectors, such as real estate. AME Info speaks to Alain Lamarlere, Country Head and General Manager of BNP Paribas Kuwait about the opportunities he sees in the country's banking sector.
