Kuwait-Mubasher: The price of Kuwait’s crude oil continued to decline on Monday, settling at $20.22 per barrel as compared to $21.6 on Friday, a drop of $1.39.

The fall of the Kuwaiti crude oil came in line with Brent crude which reached below $30 a barrel, amid expectations of further declines.

The Kuwaiti oil has lost 80% or $84 per barrel since its peak in 2014 at $104 per barrel.
