The results of ARDL bound testing confirm that economic growth, square of economic growth, energy consumption and financial management are the valid determinants of environmental degradation in Kuwait. Moreover, the results attest that financial management have a positive outcome on environmental degradation in Kuwait which suggests that the financial management is one of the main sources of increasing environmental degradation in Kuwait over the long run. Likewise, it tends to be discussed that all components including economic growth, energy consumption and financial management assume a noteworthy contributor to worsening the environmental condition in Kuwait and confirm the EKC in Kuwait. The empirical findings of the examination help the policy makers in identification and the awareness regarding the specific link of power consumption with rising ecological adversity in Kuwait.
