This agreement will lead to the exchange of information through secure and verified channels and can reduce paper usage, simplify processes, and improve the speed and accuracy of transactions. He described this protocol as an important step towards modernizing government operations and enhancing coordination between the Ministry of Oil and oil companies through digital solutions.
Kuwait's Ministry of Oil places great importance on upgrading financial and administrative systems and improving information exchange with relevant entities.

Sheikh Dr. Nimer emphasized that collaboration with KGOC will help create a connected and effective working environment and stressed the need for continuous coordination between technical teams for the implementation of the protocol and achieving its objectives.
Electronic integration is not only limited to accelerating information exchange but also helps improve data reliability, strengthen oversight, and reduce repetitive procedures, thus supporting good governance and more efficient operations. The protocol includes the exchange of essential data related to KGOC employees and relevant entities, financial information regarding payments, settlements, salaries and benefits, and periodic reports required to complete financial transactions. Additional data categories may be added by mutual agreement and under approved laws and permits.
Sheikh Dr. Nimer stated that this agreement creates a structured mechanism for sharing accurate and up-to-date information and helps reduce reliance on paper transactions and improve coordination between the relevant sectors on both sides.
