Kuwait new finance minister Mariam Al-Aqeel will head country’s sovereign wealth fund.

Khaled Al-Fadhel retained his posts as minister overseeing oil, electricity and water in Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah’s first cabinet, which includes three women and eight new faces, according to state-run KUNA news agency. The cabinet is expected to serve for less than a year since Kuwait is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections in 2020.

Sheikh Ahmad Mansour Al-Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah became defense minister, while Anas Al-Saleh was appointed interior minister, a portfolio usually filled by a member of the ruling Al-Sabah family.
