Noted: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are heavily reliant on oil. Greater economic diversification would lower their exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the global oil market, help produce tasks in the private sector, boost efficiency and sustainable growth, and help produce the non-oil economy that will be needed in the future when oil earnings begin to dwindle.
However, success to date has been limited. This paper argues that increased diversification will need realigning incentives for firms and workers in the economiesfixing these rewards is the "missing link" in the GCC countries' diversity techniques. At present, producing non-tradables is less risky and more lucrative for firms as they can gain from the easy schedule of low-wage foreign labor and the fast development in federal government spending, while the ongoing accessibility of high-paying and secure public sector tasks discourages nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector work.

Using an empirical and relative technique, this term paper analyses the past record and future trends of financial diversification efforts in the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the methodology of content analysis, possible future diversity patterns are studied from current development plans and nationwide visions published by the GCC governments.
Present development plans point unanimously to diversification as the ways to secure the stability and the sustainability of income levels in the future. Although the states continue to lead the economies, diversity involves a reinvigoration of the private sector and as such demands the implementation of wider reforms. The paper, nevertheless, questions the possibility of diversity strategies being equated into action.
Additionally, the policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising indicates that these routines quickly quit their well-argued and scheduled policies when under pressure and fall back on established ways of doing service, particularly through patronage and the predominant role of the public sector. Thus, the prospect of diversifying economies through politically tough economic reforms has actually suffered a significant setback.
