Listed: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are greatly reliant on oil. Greater economic diversification would minimize their direct exposure to volatility and unpredictability in the worldwide oil market, aid produce tasks in the economic sector, boost efficiency and sustainable growth, and help create the non-oil economy that will be required in the future when oil incomes begin to decrease.
Success to date has been limited.

At present, producing non-tradables is less risky and more profitable for companies as they can take advantage of the easy schedule of low-wage foreign labor and the rapid growth in federal government costs, while the ongoing availability of high-paying and safe and secure public sector tasks prevents nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector work.

Using an empirical and comparative approach, this research paper analyses the previous record and future trends of economic diversity efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the approach of content analysis, possible future diversification patterns are studied from existing advancement plans and national visions released by the GCC governments.
Current advancement plans point unanimously to diversity as the means to protect the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Despite the fact that the states continue to lead the economies, diversity entails a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such demands the implementation of wider reforms. The paper, however, questions the possibility of diversification strategies being equated into action.
The policy response to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising shows that these routines easily provide up their well-argued and planned policies when under pressure and fall back on established ways of doing service, specifically through patronage and the primary function of the public sector. Thus, the possibility of diversifying economies through politically difficult economic reforms has actually suffered a considerable setback.
