Listed: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are heavily dependent on oil. Greater financial diversification would reduce their exposure to volatility and unpredictability in the international oil market, help create jobs in the personal sector, increase productivity and sustainable growth, and assist produce the non-oil economy that will be required in the future when oil earnings start to diminish.
Nonetheless, success to date has been restricted. This paper argues that increased diversification will require realigning rewards for companies and employees in the economiesfixing these rewards is the "missing link" in the GCC nations' diversification methods. At present, producing non-tradables is less dangerous and more rewarding for companies as they can benefit from the simple schedule of low-wage foreign labor and the fast development in federal government costs, while the continued availability of high-paying and safe public sector jobs discourages nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector work.

Using an empirical and relative method, this research study paper analyses the past record and future patterns of economic diversification efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations. Using the methodology of content analysis, possible future diversity trends are studied from current advancement plans and nationwide visions released by the GCC federal governments.
Current development plans point unanimously to diversification as the means to secure the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Even though the states continue to lead the economies, diversity involves a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such necessitates the implementation of more comprehensive reforms. The paper, nevertheless, questions the possibility of diversity plans being translated into action.
Additionally, the policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising suggests that these programs quickly quit their well-argued and organized policies when under pressure and fall back on recognized methods of doing service, namely through patronage and the primary role of the general public sector. For this reason, the possibility of diversifying economies through politically hard economic reforms has actually suffered a substantial problem.
