But it indicated that the figure did not include the exports to GCC members in 2004-2005 as the GCC, which groups Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, launched a Customs Union in 2003.

During the same period of 2000-2005, Kuwait's exports to other Arab states reached 304.8 million dinars (1036.32 million dollars), according to the bulletin.
