KKR earmarks some of its $19.2 billion infrastructure fund for Gulf projects
KKR closed a $19.2 billion global infrastructure fund, with portions allocated for Gulf energy and digital infrastructure projects. The firm has committed $5 billion to Middle East data centers and recently signed a $16 billion lease on Kuwait’s national pipeline network with Blackstone. Despite recent Iranian drone attacks on AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, KKR’s investments signal confidence in the region’s digital infrastructure growth.
